Simply uncomment set -x, be removing the "# " in front of it,
so you see

	set -x

the rest is currently not relevant for debugging....

This is the file which should contain debugging output
from the apsfilter shellscript.

This file would only contain output, if you send something to
the raw printer with "lpr -Praw filename"

I think you made perhaps a mistake ...
make sure that /usr/local/apsfilter/bin/apsfilter
has
set -x
uncommented to enable debugging.

Can't be true ....

Maybe you fiddled around with too much options, use only set -x ....
