I just installed the apsfilter-7.2.8 ( Jun 10 09:47) snapshot package
on the latest i386 snapshot:
OpenBSD 4.1-current (GENERIC) #298: Sun Jun 17 14:22:17 MDT 2007
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC
cpu0: Intel Pentium II ("GenuineIntel" 686-class, 512KB L2 cache) 268 MHz
First error I encountered is at the beginning of running the SETUP.
'chown' complains about invalid user 'lp'

# /etc/apsfilter/basedir/SETUP
chown: user is invalid: lp

Second glitch is that '/usr/local/bin/gawk' cannot be found:

This SETUP script supports the user/administrator by
- configuring serial/parallel/remote printers
- creating printer spool directories as needed
- auto-creation of printcap config-file
for apsfilter (add / overwrite printer)
- setting up apsfilter (which gs driver to use,
paper size, print resolutions and color depth)
- printing a test page (settings may be modified
until successfull ouput of a testpage)
- saves some SETUP settings in apsfilterrc config file
it does not:
- complete printer management in printcap
(delete/modify printer)

I needed to print something urgently so I worked around this by
creating a symbolic link:
# ln -s $(which awk) /usr/local/bin/gawk
After that the SETUP went well and I could print successfully on my HP
Deskjet 3820.
