    I've just installed apsfilter on the latest FreeBSD 5.3 to print with my
    epson stylus color 640 (driver eps640lp.upp) following both the handbook
    chapter on printing & an artcle in freebsddiary.org.
    But:
    1) If I - running apsfilter SETUP - use the 'T'(est) option, the PC tiringly,
    after un unbearable couple of minutes or so, starts printing a first row
    of squares of the test picture only, then seems to hang, emitting from time
    to time a (useless) sound. At this point it's better to stop CTRL+Del.

    2) If I try to print via lpr -Plp plaintestfile the log under /var/spool/lpd/lp
    says
    "/usr/local/etc/apsfilter/basedir/bin/apsfilter: cannot open /var/spool/lpd/lp/lock:
    Permission denied"
    and doesn't print anything.

    Please help.

    Vittorio
