I use lpr -P hp4l test.txt.

Ok I now have it working, lol it was the permissions on the smbclient.conf
file in the /usr/local/etc/apsfilter/hp4l directory. It was set to 600 for
permissions IE rw for owner (IIRC)  and I made it 777 now it works, what
should the permissions be ? I have found through trial and error that the
minimum seems to be 660 </me shrugs>

BTW great software, now I fixed a minor problem, it works really great.

Regards,

Kat.
