It does have a config utility like apsfilter (magicfilterconfig).

Whether you have the hpdj driver available or not depends on whether it the Ghostscript you are using has been compiled with hpdj support. If you do 'gs -h' you will see all the drivers your ghostscript can use. If hpdj is on that list then you can use it. I know that apsfilter will automatically detect it. May I make a suggestion? Try installing printtool - it is available via apt-get. Printtool offers a GUI for installing printers and when you go to 'input filter/select' it should list all the drivers available on your system. AFAIK it uses its own filters and has no need of magicfilter or apsfilter. I always used to use it with RedHat and was pleased when I found it was available for Debian too. I had always assumed it was a RedHat/Caldera-only tool. -- Phillip Deackes Using Storm Linux 2000
