I removed the printtool package and installed apsfilter, configuring it for my printer answering the questions asked. When I try to print a text file, here's the message I get: apsfilter: unsupported filetype english text from dlm or missing filter ! or perhaps you have to type lpr -Pascii to print an ascii file containing control characters or lpr -Praw to print a file in your printers native language, when printing data files (pcl3, pcl5, ...)
Is there a package I'm missing for this? thanks
