<h2>
Configuration and Use of Apsfilter in Applications
</h2>

<p>This rubric shows some examples, how to use apsfilter with different
  <i>Open Source</i> applications. We use the same categories
  here like the <a href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports"
  >FreeBSD ports collection</a>.

<p>If you have some interesting ideas, feel free to write them to
  <sroberts> who is maintining this page. -Andreas

<p>Thanks for all your kind contributions !!! -Stacey

        Presuming that you've been able to print the test page during
        SETUP and have already (I)nstalled apsfilter on your system, do the
        following:-
        <ul>
        <li>Click on FILE</li>
        <li>Click on PRINT</li>
	<li>Under "Select Printer" section, leave the name as
		"Generic Postscript"</li>
	<li>Click the "Printer" radio button, and enter
		"lpr -P(printer_name)"</li>
        </ul>
        <p>
	The preceding steps would set up printing to you new printer from
	Evolution. Once these settings are in place, test by now clicking
	on the "Print" button on the bottom left of the dialogue box.
	<p>
	This should have printed fine. The great thing about this is that
	after this up, the printer settings are now there until you decide
	to change them.

	For this tip, there really isn't much to getting your pdf docs
	printed using apsfilter. As before, as long as you've been able
	to successfully print the test page and installed the print queue
	to /etc/printcap, then this should be all that's required.
        <ul>
        <li>Click on FILE</li>
        <li>Click on PRINT</li>
        <li>Ensure that the "Printer" radio button is selected at the top</li>
	<li>To be safe, enter the full print command is in the text field:</li>
	<li>For BSD - "lpr -P(printer_name)</li>
	<li>Verify that settings in other sections are okay</li>
	<li>Click the "OK" button</li>
	<li>And that should be it, printer should be singing by now</li>
        </ul>

	Presuming that you've been able to print the test page during
	SETUP and have already (I)nstalled apsfilter on your system, do the 
	following:-
	<ul>
	<li>Click on FILE</li>
	<li>Click on PRINT</li>
	</ul>
	<p>
	The "Print" dialogue box should pop up with the printer installed
	by apsfilter during SETUP displayed in the top pane.
	Opera is extremely good at picking up printer configurations
	in /etc/printcap for each printer installed, so highlight the
	printer entry in the top paneand click on the "OPTIONS" tab.
	Simply click / select various print options you would require
	for your job, and you're ready to print.
	<p>
	This is even easier. Click the "PRINT" button at the bottom of the
	dialogue box and very quickly, you should hear the printer
	initializing itself and proceeding to print your web page from Opera.
	And that's it! Very neat, very tidy.
