	Your Full Name    : Rob Fantini
	Your e-mail addr  : robertfantini@yahoo.com

(2) - Problem description
    - what ghostscript printer driver did you use ?

I'm trying to get ascii files to print landscape. To debug,I uncommented the
'set -x' line in BASEDIR/bin/apsfilter.
However nothing is written to /var/spool/lpd/QUE/log .


(3) Any error messages from your operating system, indicating trouble
    concerning TCP/IP, lpd ? Browse your systems syslog logfiles, i.e.
    /var/log/messages or /var/log/lpd-errs, ...

no, the reports prints.

(4) Did you read all help-files ?

	The most important are:
		README, INSTALL, FAQ, TODO, ChangeLog, doc/README.TeX
	If not, then please do so first.
ok did that

(5) Did you enable debugging in the apsfilter shellscript to track down
    simple errors yourself ? For more infos on how to do this, see the FAQ
    file. Please do so first !!!
    If you can't find the problem, then please send me the debugging
    output of *exactly* one print session.



(6) The printer entry from your /etc/printcap file, that caused trouble,
    i.e. if you have trouble forcing ASCII printing the entry from the
    printer named auto would be fine:

apslj5|Printer2 auto:\
    :lp=:\
    :rm=192.168.1.13:\
    :rp=lpd:\
    :if=/etc/apsfilter/basedir/bin/apsfilter:\
    :sd=/var/spool/lpd/apslj5:\
    :lf=/var/spool/lpd/apslj5/log:\
    :af=/var/spool/lpd/apslj5/acct:\
    :mx#0:\
    :sh:

(7) Did you modify apsfilterrc in /etc/apsfilter and/or in the printer
    specific config directory /etc/apsfilter/NAME ?
    If you modified the file, try printing without the modifications.
    Still problems ?

YES, [I had changed the 'METHOD' to 'ascii'. I just now changed back to
'auto'.



(8) Does a private (user defineable) apsfilterrc exist ?  NO


(9) Is it perhaps a file type recognition problem ?
      I just ran 'file' on test file I've been trying to print, result:
ASCII text .

(10) The part of your printers logfile that logged the commands of
     your failed print session, see lf= in /etc/printcap, i.e.:
	lp|Printer1 auto:\
	...
	    :lf=/var/spool/lpd/lp/log:\
	...
     So you find debugging output in the file
	/var/spool/lpd/lp/log
     This logfile contains debugging data, if you enabled debugging as
     described in the FAQ.
     For LPRng spoolers: depending on the configuration, debugging output
     might also be logged to the "status" file in the spool directory, e.g.
	/var/spool/lpd/lp/status

(11) Mostly true on Linux Distributions:
     Do you use the traditional printer spooler (lpd)
     or the one that is called LPRng (line printer next generation) ?
LPRng

Thanks for complete informations !
