problem with ascii files

["A. L. Meyers" <a.l.meyers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Apsfilter-Helpers,

Thanks for the quick messages. Resume of the problem:

apsfilter 6.1.1
HP2000C printer on /dev/lpt0
FBSD 4.3
cdjcolor driver
ghostscript 6.1
printers defined by apsfilter: lp and raw1
command: "lptest 25 25 | lpr -Plp
Result: nothing, zero, nada


I set up a log file according to your instructions.
It is attached.

Greetings,

Lucien Meyers
