Morgan,
It's you again? (I helped Morgan with a sparc problem recently)
Grab apsfilter from a sunsite mirror (try ftp.cc.gatech.edu)
/pub/linux/system/printing/aps-491.tgz
Untar it into a spare directory (/usr/local also works)
change to that directory
type SETUP
Browse through the default files, changing as needed.
Enjoy your new printing system.
Anything else? (grinning)
Rick
