    Is it a permissions issue? IIRC, I had an issue with permissions
    the first time I set up apsfilter.

    Here are my permissions on /var/spool and friends:

    # ll /var/spool | grep lpd && ll /var/spool/lpd && ll /var/spool/lpd/lp
    drwxr-xr-x 5 root daemon 512 Mar 22 2004 lpd/
    total 1
    drwxr-xr-x 2 root daemon 512 Mar 2 20:55 lp/
    total 41
    -rw-r----- 1 root daemon 84 Apr 8 2004 .railmag
    -rw-r----x 1 root daemon 4 Mar 2 20:55 .seq*
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root daemon 0 Mar 21 2004 acct
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root daemon 33 Mar 2 20:55 lock
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root daemon 42235080 Mar 2 20:55 log
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root daemon 25 Mar 2 20:55 status

    HTH,
