I just went and pressed the print option on WP.  It worked that time,
but just then.  Not that I use rtf a lot, but I need available every
now and then.

That was a mistake during the configuration of apsfilter, as you see I
somehow created two entries (lp and xerox) when I just need one.  I
guess I can remove the "lp" entry in /etc/printcap and everything will
be fine?

Ach so!  Everything works now (including wp, gv, ...).

It's so easy, and the config script is so helpful.  We'll definetely
include it for the new Spanish speakers OpenBSD sites.
