heh.. only use it if you recompile it yourself. otherwise you need to
suck in most of unstable too (due to new libc versions, etc).

i always use LPRng and "magicfilter". magicfilter was better than
apsfilter when i made the switch, but i think apsfilter has been
rewritten a fair amount since then.
when you install it, it runs magicfilterconfig(8), which will set
stuff up for you. hplj4 is the default even.
