Hi all;

I have a strange problem with apsfilter, i am printing from a computer
with FreeBSD-4.3 using apsfilter 6.1.1, ghostscript 6.5, and a HP 2100
laserjet printer (so i use laserjet as de gs device).

So, the problem is:
I run SETUP to configure and print the test page, Great!!
then i have printed a raw test, Good!!!
If i print an image (say the well known tiger.ps) it works really good
but, when i try to print a text page in postscript it doesn't makes the
job. What i got is that all the lines are printed one after the other,
no separation at all, so one text page shrinks to some 6 cm.
I have tried all kind of modifications to the configurations without 
success. Even more strange (or not??), i have printed using gs in the
command line (with exactly the same options that appear in the debug log
file), both piping the output to /dev/lpt0 and storing in a temp file and
then cat temp > /dev/lpt0 and it works fine.

So i can not figure out what is wrong with apsfilter.
I am sending in the attachment the configuration file, and two log files,
one with the ps_print line at the end of apsfilter commented out, and the
other without this modification.

Please, if you can see what the mistake is tell me in order to kill me
myself.

Best regards.
    Enrique.
