I'm having a hard time printing and decided to use dselect to load apsfilter.
When dselect ran the configuration for apsfilter I noticed that several programs apsfilter used were not there. g3cut html2ps pnmtolps ras2ps recode bunzip compress melt pack Of this list, html2ps and recode I found on the potato directories and installed them. The rest, I'm not sure about. I couldn't find them. It occured to me that we should make suggested selections of these other programs when people install apsfilter. In-fact, I would have a tendency to make them actual dependency's of apsfilter. There was quite a list of them and these were the only ones missing. It also occured to me, either I don't know how to search for a program by name using dselect or there is not feature to search for a program by name using dselect. Finally, I wonder why these other software packages aren't in potato? I am assuming they are not as I didn't find them in 2 passes. Yet, this is only part of my current printing problem. I'm still having poor luck getting an ungarbled page from my printer. Tommorrow I think I will change some bios settings and see if that helps. Thanks Charlie
