Two things are needed: (1) what version of apsfilter are you 
using and (2) are you absolutely positive that apsfilter printed 
to /dev/lpt0.  I guess another question is whether you have 
looked at your printcap file.  Some of us can give you better 
help if you will list both the commands apsfilter used to print 
the test page (run it again and write down or copy what it shows 
on the screen) and the printcap file.
