7.2.1 great local, bypassed (?) from remote


Hi.

Greetings everyone.

Recently I had apsfilter 6.1.1 on my FreeBSD machine.  We've got 2 iMacs
running OS X, and they printed fine to the BSD box through LP (not via
appletalk), using the "LaserJet 4" entry and sending to the "lp" auto
queue.

More recently, I updated to apsfilter 7.2.1 through the ports
collection.  Local printing is still great, but jobs from the macs now
produce "%!PS ...".  Looking at "top" while the remote jobs come through
shows they're "cat"-ted to the printer.

What changed between 6.1.1 and 7.2.1, and how can I set 7.2.1 to filter
the remote jobs?  I've tried LJ4, generic and LaserWriter printer
entries on the macs, as well as raw, text and auto; they all yield the
same result.  Things work again when I put 6.1.1 back on.

There's got to be a simple tweak or something I missed for 7.2.1.  Any
help would be greatly appreciated.

FreeBSD 4.5, stock lpd, HP LJ 6L.

Thanks,
