I'm wondering what the OBSD people generally use for print filtering. I
have an old IBM PC Graphics printer (dot-matrix) attached to my debian
box but everyone there seems to use CUPS. I could just as easily
connect the printer to my OBSD box.
The last time I used this printer to print postscript was a few years
ago. It was connected to a debian box running LPRng but debian's gs
did't have a driver that would work. I ended up using foomatic and
gs-esp with the ML 320 driver.
foomatic and cups seems like going overboard for something so simple.
So what do OBSD people use?
Have a look at apsfilter. Simple to install as a pre-compiled binary
package. apsfilter needs ghostscript as well as a2ps.
There one small thing you may have to fix. a reference to gawk in the
SETUP script. I just changed it to "/usr/bin/awk".
