Could you tell me how I would go about doing this?  I have the 6 candidate
release version of apsfilter, and I used SETUP to get things up.  However, I
could not print anything, and I couldn't find any errors.  I'm using lprng
3.6.26-1 and gs 6.01-7.

The website you refer to I believe is www.linuxprinting.org
