I've got an HP LJIII here. As I remember the II and the III are very
similar, so hopefully this'll help. I'm using magicfilter and have
the LJIII working perfectly. I used magicfilterconfig to set up my
printcap. So my first suggestion would be dump the printtool - them
RedHat GUI config tools have never worked worth a damn. Then I'd say
remove apsfilter and install magicfilter - I seem to remember trying
apsfilter first, and never could get it to work.
I can't guarantee that magicfilter will work with an LJII, but it works
very nicely here with an LJIII. Should be at least worth trying.
