apsfilter - exasperation - willing to pay
I cannot for the life of me get aspfilter working.
It keeps putting out the error;
/usr/local/etc/apsfilter/basedir/bin/apsfilter: line 1252: `${PS_NUP:+psnup -q
-$PS_NUP ${LANDSCAPE:+$PSNUP_ROTATE} |} \'

in the /var/spool/lpd/raw error log.
which, if I understand the script, seems to be related to there
being no file to delete after the print attempt.
It started as a working system with a small bug in samba on FreeBSD 4.3S.
I reinstalled samba. Then I reinstalled apsfilter.
Now I have upgraded to 4.8S. Then I reinstalled both samba and apsfilter.
I have posts both on FreeBSD and apsfilter lists.
One problem is the lack of information available available from the
the logs.

In [EMAIL PROTECTED], David Banning [EMAIL PROTECTED] typed: I cannot for the life of me get aspfilter working. You might try magicfilter instead of apsfilter. It's not a shell script, so is less likely to break when the environment changes around it. However, it does require that you configure /etc/printcap yourself. Here's a sample entry: lj|lp|LaserJet 5MP:\ :lp=/dev/ulpt0:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lj:\ :lf=/var/spool/lpd/lj/log:\ :af=/var/spool/lpd/lj/acct:\ :if=/usr/opt/libexec/magicfilter/ljet4m-filter:\ :mx#0:\ :sh: If you can't find a magicfilter entry for your printer - which is likely, as it's old - you'll have to take one for a similar - meaning handles the same data formats - and modify it slightly. I'll be glad to help with that as well. mike -- Mike Meyer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
