Re: can only print first page / cat I/O error


Hi !

Wrong support channel...
You use susefilter from SuSe not apsfilter.
Unfortunately they still called it apsfilter since in former times
it was based on apsfilter. But now they only have the name in common.

Read your docs..., Werner Fink told me he stated this out in config files
and will try to get rid of the name "apsfilter" in his product, since
it confuses customers like you.

Feel free to use apsfilter instead...

http://www.apsfilter.org/

See the handbook ... But don't expect interoperability between
the real apsfilter and the suse admin scripts.

Cheers
