graphics files not printing correctly

[Jason Taylor]

I've followed the directions in the handbook for setting up lpd and also 
installed apsfilter via ports and ran /usr/local/share/apsfilter/SETUP. 
 In general printing is working.  For example, a text document from OOo 
prints just fine.  However, when I attempt to print a jpeg file the 
result is what I can best describe as a blurry negative image.  That's 
not terribly accurate.  It's more like it's been converted to only a 
handful of colors and possibly some colors dropped altogether.

I've tried both the native gs driver and the gimp-print stp driver with 
the same results.  Test pages printed from within the apsfilter setup 
look great.  The problem does not seem to be limited to jpegs in 
particular.  A pdf from a few days ago was also blurred/color 
reduced/altered.  Images printed directly from firefox a week or so ago 
show the same symptoms.  Whether those were jpeg, gif, png, or something 
else, I'm not certain.

I've ruled out any network issues by copying a few jpeg files over to 
the server and printing them locally.  I've also converted a few from 
jpeg to ps and back again to rule out imagemagick.

I'm confident that the printer itself is in good order based on the good 
test pages and it having worked well on a WinXP just prior to having 
been moved over the the FreeBSD box.  I no longer have any Windows 
machines around to check that it still works on them.  :-D

Any tips will be much appreciated.
