Hi,
I make some tests on newly installed ifhp-3.5.10 & LPRng-3.8.21 &
HP2200dtn
and find out 2 problems:
1. its over production of ifhp* files (hundreds !!) in /var/spool/lpd -
whith the same inhold:

2. filtering text files through a2ps doesn't work:
it seems that the right filter is being used, but it is not - text file is
not getting its "pretty"format, just raw text:
