Hi,

I've installed apsfilter 7.2.1 on several machines running Solaris
and Linux. Everything seems to work OK, with one exception:

One of my printers, HP2100M machine requires that an EOT code is sent at
the end of a Postscript job. Otherwise, the job is printed but the
printer keeps blinking one of its LEDs showing that something is wrong.

Unfortunately, apsfilter does not seem to attach EOT (\014) to PS jobs.
I tried setting RAW_EPILOGUE in printer's appfilterrc file but this does
not help - apparently it is not used for printing PS jobs at all.

Is is possible to persuade apsfilter to attach EOT to PS jobs?

regards, Michal.
