I think one of his problems may be that apsfilter doesn't give any of those
choices.  Many of the newer HP's use pcl, although some use another HP
driver.  These are typically compiled into ghostscript. If a recent version
of apsfilter is run, it will note which filter is needed (in parenthesis
next to the printer name).  If that driver is not installed in ghostscript,
it needs to be patched in.  The patch is simple to do.  HP is a peculiar
bird and needs special treatment.
