Which version of a2ps are you using? (Our options are based
on 4.13b.) Maybe you are even using mpage or enscript, so that
change had no effect at all...

5.2.0 is rather old (it's even before my time with apsfilter),
so I have no idea what might have been going on there...

Correct, the default apsfilterrc doesn't override any option
at all.


I think it would be best if you'd create a debugging log file
of one printing attempt, just to see what exactly is going on.
Basically you do "aps2file -D 2>log.txt >/dev/null yourfilename"
(the handbook has more info on this) and post "log.txt" here.

Please use the same apsfilter options (-Z/-C) for aps2file as
well, if any.
