I installed the apsfilter from the ports collection, using cdeskjet for the
output device (from ghostscript) during the installation... Its slow, as it
tries to convert everything to postscript then back to the deskjet, but it
does work. It also sets up a printer lpr -Praw which prints straight to the
printer, no problems so far on my HPDjet500C, haven't tried anything in colour
yet though :)
