apsfilter: can't determine the lpd spool directory

["Stefan M. Brandl" <smb@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi there,
today I've installed apsfilter-6.0.0 bu t I can't get it top work.
Everytime I try to ptinz something I get the following errormail:


apsfilter fatal error: can't determine the lpd spool directory

Please fix your lpd or stop printing to remote printers
directly.



The logfile says:

+ PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/bin:/bin

+ trap  SIGHUP SIGPIPE

I think the problem is, that $SPOOLDIR is empty.
But it's set right in /etc/printcap:

lp|Printer1 auto:\
    :lp=:\
    :rm=192.168.0.51:\
    :rp=:\
    :if=/etc/apsfilter/basedir/bin/apsfilter:\
    :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
    :lf=/var/spool/lpd/lp/log:\
    :af=/var/spool/lpd/lp/acct:\
    :mx#0:\
    :sh:



Any hints what's going wrong here?
