b0rked setup


Lo all,

  I had apsfilter working for months then it turded. I
suspect that my dist upgraded a few files but not all
the dependancies. I'm running debian and have since
updated everything that should be associated with
apsfilter. I remove purged everything and reinstalled
lpd and apsfilter so everything should've been clean.
I ran setup and it appeared to run correctly, however
I don't believe it can find the printer driver (or
script that it uses).

Heres the relevant entries from my printcap:

# APS1_BEGIN:printer1
# - don't delete start label for apsfilter printer1
# - no other printer defines between BEGIN and END
LABEL
bubble|bjc50;r=300x300;q=draft;c=mono;p=letter;m=auto:\
    :lp=/dev/lp0:\
    :if=/etc/apsfilter/basedir/bin/apsfilter:\
    :sd=/var/spool/lpd/bubble:\
    :lf=/var/spool/lpd/bubble/log:\
    :af=/var/spool/lpd/bubble/acct:\
    :mx#0:\
    :sh:
# APS1_END - don't delete this

Apparently the printer does work cause I can echo a
line to the devices (and it was working before it
b0rked)

Now when I print I get this message in the printout
Unknown device: bjc50

The command I used to print was lpr -Pbubble
/path/file

Heres what was in my perf.log too
