Well, you asked for feedback


I installed the FreeBSD port of apsfilter. I just
want to be able to print text files to a networked
postscript printer.

The SETUP program kept asking me about Ghostscript, I
ignored all that.

Whenever I try to print I get an email like this:

apsfilter fatal error: can't determine the lpd spool directory

Please fix your lpd or stop printing to remote printers
directly.

-- apsfilter, your lpd input filter

I just added apsfilter as an if= line to an existing
/etc/printcap, the spool directory is there and OK.
