Thanks for the info. I've installed apsfilter, and now
I find that, while I can print text files, I am unable
to print from within a browser. I am also unable to
print via Samba (although I suspect I need to update
my smb.conf to take into account LPRng, which I also
installed).
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
John
