1st suggestion is to use the latest apsfilter version, since
it fixes some issues concerning windows remote printing.

Another thing is, that last recently we learned, that some
LPRng versions are buggy.

Please resolve these issues first. www.apsfilter.org tells
you on the start page about that ...
