Opinion Sought

[John Seago <john.seago@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am a relative newcomer to computing, a newcomer to GNU/Linux, and a very 
newcomer to Slackware, (Slackware 8).

I tried to get my HP710C to work with the version of Apsfilter installed in 
Slackware 8, and failed. Being a newcomer I do not know why. 

I have downloaded the latest (7.2.1) version of Apsfilter, and the version 
(6.52) of Ghostscript, and pnm2ppa. Would I be better off if I started 
again with a new printer, and if so could you advise which HP printer would 
co-operate with apsfilter 7.2.1 best? It is my birthday soon, so I might be 
able to persuade my wife to get me a new printer.
