Can't get apsfilter to work with my HP Deskjet 690C


Hello
I can't get my HP DeskJet 690C to work with apsfilter.
In the SETUP program I choose
        (1)     Printer Driver Selection                [cdj670]
        (2)     Interface Setup                         [parallel]
        (3)     Paper Format                            [a4]
        (4)     Printing Quality                        [medium]
        (5)     Color Mode                              [full]
        (6)     Print Resolution in "dots per inch"     [300x300]
        (7)     Default Printing Method                 [auto]
It worked to print the test page. I then choosed to install the printer
and to finish the installation. I restarted lpd, but when I tried print
something with lpr, all that got printed was some symbols and letters,
maybe it's postscript code.

I'm using apsfilter 7.2.5 and lprng 3.8.20.

My /etc/printcap looks like this:

# APS1_BEGIN:printer1
# - don't delete start label for apsfilter printer1
# - no other printer defines between BEGIN and END LABEL
lp|cdj670;r=300x300;q=medium;c=full;p=a4;m=auto:\
    :lp=/dev/printers/0:\
    :if=/usr/etc/apsfilter/basedir/bin/apsfilter:\
    :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
    :lf=/var/spool/lpd/lp/log:\
    :af=/var/spool/lpd/lp/acct:\
    :mx#0:\
    :sh:
# APS1_END - don't delete this


Both /usr/etc/apsfilter/basedir/bin/apsfilter, /dev/printers/0 and the
files in /var/spool/lpd exists.

Why doesn't it work?
