apsfilter doesn't filter :-)

[Gerrit Kühn <gerrit@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi folks,

I've just installed apsfilter 7.2.1 on a Linux-System with a Kyocera
FS-680 (using ljet4) and I'm experiencing a rather strange problem:
aps doesn't filter. I can do "lpr -Pname file.ps", "lpr -Pname
file.pdf" or similar and the printer just prints the ps or pdf code.
But if I use "aps2file -Pname file.ps" I get pcl as expected (I can
even pipe this in lpr and it's getting printed fine then). The filter
only doesn't work when called via lpd/printcap. Are there any hints how
to fix this? The printcap-entry is looking like this:

# APS1_BEGIN:printer1
# - don't delete start label for apsfilter printer1
# - no other printer defines between BEGIN and END LABEL
mk1|ljet4;r=600x600;q=photo;c=gray;p=a4;m=auto:\
    :lp=/dev/lp0:\
    :if=/usr/local/etc/apsfilter/basedir/bin/apsfilter:\
    :sd=/var/spool/lpd/mk1:\
    :lf=/var/spool/lpd/mk1/log:\
    :af=/var/spool/lpd/mk1/acct:\
    :mx#0:\
    :sh:
# APS1_END - don't delete this


apsfilerc for this printer is also standard:


#
# don't delete these settings
#
PRINTER='ljet4'
PAPERSIZE='a4'
METHOD='auto'
QUALITY='photo'
COLOR='gray'
RESOLUTION='600x600'


Any help would be greatly appreciated. :)
