Three interesting things.

[John Culleton <john@xxxxxxxx>]

1. After failing to get raw (non-postcript) printing working in the
stable release I turned to the development release.
I used lpr -Praw1 foo.txt. lpr foo.txt doesn't work with either release. 

 Well, there is good news and bad news. My first test document did
indeed get printed out. It was maybe 20 lines long. The printer printed
those 20 lines and then just hung with the printhead sort of waving back
and forth in the breeze. I pushed the page eject button and got my
printout. The routine needs to add a page eject command at the end of
the file.

2. I have an Epson 880 printer. The closest driver is stcany_h.upp at
720 DPI. My gs program has the stp driver but no one has yet told me how
to convince apsfilter to use it.

3. There is a confusing aspect to the SETUP script on the 6.01 release.
If after setting the parameters you just enter q  then the printcap
won't get built. You have to press I to build printcap and the filter,
and then press q. On previous releases there was a C "continue" option. 
The wording should be changed to indicate that the "I" step is mandatory
even if you only have one printer.
