help with xerox docuprint c15

[Horacio <homega@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi there,

I hope you can help with this:

I installed apsfilter6 as it requires ghostscript5 on an OpenBSD 2.7
system.  The printer is a Xerox Docuprint C15 (inkjet colour printer)
which, according to the technical support, should be compatible with
hp550c and hp690 among others.

During the installation I did some trial and error for the filters,
just to find out that the output for cdj550 was cyan instead of black,
and for cdj670 was half background cyan and the other half (pink?).
The cdjcolor filter worked out well for the test.

First I tried to print from the command line with lpr:

$ lpr file

but didn't work.  So, I opened 'file' on WordPerfect, saved it as 'file.doc'
on WP format, and tried to print that one.  That worked.  Any further attempt
to print postscript docs from gv or pdf from acrobat failed.  Fine, I cleaned
the queue.

(if I try:  groff -mdoc -Tps /usr/share/man/cat1/lpr.0 > /dev/lpt0
I get:  ksh: cannot create /dev/lpt0: Permission denied)

Now I try again with WP and all I get is blocks of numbers, each one preceded
by a bracket, an asterisk, and a p char, and followed by a caret.  So, I
check the status and verify that there's nothing in the queue:

xerox:
	queuing is enabled
	printing is enabled
	no entries
	printer idle
lp:
	queuing is enabled
	printing is enabled
	no entries
	printer idle

and try again to print a pdf from acrobat, but all I get is:

%!PS-Adobe-3.0
	      %%Title:  (50130201a.pdf)
	      				%%Version:  1  1
							%%Creator:  %(Microsoft

and similar for any other ps/pdf doc I try to print, like:

groff -mdoc -Tps /usr/share/man/cat1/lpr.0 | lpr


My /etc/printcap file looks like:

If I ommit any details, please let me know.  Also, if there's something too
obvious here, please don't be too harsh on me :)
