Apsfilter 6.1.1 - praise and advice

["Zdenko Dolar" <zdenko.dolar@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi!
I do not have words to thank you for that excellent utility!
I have Slackware Linux 8.0 with BSD printing system and installed printer on
my windows 2000.
The printer is HP DeskJet 720C.
Your utility helped me to configure my Linux machine to print to that
printer through SAMBA.
I had some trouble to complete the configuration as your Apsfilter did only
a part of the configuration.
The missing parts are:
1. what had to be added to printcap after line '# APS1_END and all other
regarding network printing:
2. added additional directory in /var/spool/lpd for remote printer and copy
of log & acct files to it.
3. creating correct lpr.conf and copy to both /var/spool/lpd subdirectories
crated by Apsfilter.
4. correct the permissions for files smbclient.conf in
/etc/apsfilter/$PRINTER$
For the missing part I thank for

To finally complete the configuration (and guess some parameters) I
contacted the address above and the answer:

I ageree that comment, that yor documentation of apsfilter ought to include
the missing part.
I belive that in the future you will include missing parts in your script to
complete the configuration of BSD printing system.


With best regards!
