Fwd: Apsfilter still fucked up - Part II


-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

At the bottom (and just below) is some information I just got in 
the mail.  It may help.

LPRng 3.5.1
GS 6.5.1
Apsfilter 7.0
Printer HP 2000C

Ran ./SETUP for a fifth time.  Test results looked great.
Attempted to print via command line or on any program.  My
results look like this:

%!PS-Adobe-1.0
                             &&BoundingBox: 0 0 612 792

(starting one space after "792" - rbe)
%%Creator:  KDE 2.1 HTML Library
(starting one space after "Library" - rbe)
                                             %%Title:

Followed by all the pages in my printer paper holder -- all
blank.

running checkpc -f gives me the following output:

Does anyone have any help for this?  I ran checkpc before trying
to print anything just to make sure the permissions were
 correct.

The internal mailer gives the message below both for root and 
rbe (me).  I am completely baffled by it.  Printing using cat 
<file> > /dev/lp0 gives the right output (stair-stepped), but 
only after I manually clear some sort of error sent to the 
printer.
