UPDATE - Re: Your problem with apsfilter

[Stacey Roberts <stacey@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi James,
    I was able to get some output from including "set -x" in the
apsfilter script as you've advised.

After that, I tried sending a text file to print from command line: "lpr
-Php845c test.

The log file generated actually went to the errs.* file in the spool
dir:

<Well., you pretty much know this goes on forever, unless I manually
CTRL -C this and lprm the print job>

Needless to say, nothing happens at the printer - no noises., no
initialization, nothing.

Do let me know if this presents any hints to the source of my problem,
if any, and further tests that you might want to suggest.

Thanks.

Stacey
