To me your printcap file looks OK. Apsfilter has the option of
installing network printer
but there are other files besides printcap that need to be edited on the
server and the client side. I also
do not know your networks settings, the firewall settings and permissions.
Instead of me talking too much this is the link to FreeBSD Handbook
printing section which is
also relevant for OpenBSD users. In particularly look at the section
9.4.3 of the chapter
Advanced Printer Setup where client and server sides are treated in detail.

Hi folks,
I'm using apsfilter on OBSD 4.2, and trying to set up an HP LaserJet printer.
I have an HP P2015DN and a 4240n, so printing to either one would be
fine with me.
After running apsfilter SETUP, here's my /etc/printcap file:
lp|PSgs;r=300x300;q=medium;c=mono;p=letter;m=auto:\
:lp=:\
:rm=192.168.1.15:\
:rp=raw:\
:if=/etc/apsfilter/basedir/bin/apsfilter:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/lp/log:\
:af=/var/spool/lpd/lp/acct:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:
When I try and print a testpage, this is what I get:
Printing test page...
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 924020 Mar 20 08:46 /tmp/apsfilter20397/test_page.aps
lpr: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: unknown printer
0m0.00s real 0m0.00s user 0m0.00s system
[ press RETURN to continue ]
Can someone give me some tips on setting up a network printer? I
thought setting up a network printer would be a snap with apsfilter,
but it's not as easy as I thought.
:-)
Thanks,
Ed
