At this point it's better to stop CTRL+Del.
Is your printer connected via the parallel port? If so, and there is a line reading "Interrupt storm detected on "irq7: lpt0"; throttling interrupt source", add the following to /boot/device.hints: # For the parallel port. Set ECP mode, disable interrupt. See ppc(4). # ECP mode is bit 3 (0x08), disabling IRQ is bit 5 (0x20). # By disabling the IRQ I put the port "polling mode". hint.ppc.0.flags="0x28" The lines starting with '#' are comments, you can omit these if you want. After you have added this line, reboot and try again. > 2) If I try to print via lpr -Plp plaintestfile the log under > /var/spool/lpd/lp > says > "/usr/local/etc/apsfilter/basedir/bin/apsfilter: cannot open > /var/spool/lpd/lp/lock: > Permission denied" This means apsfilter does not have access rights to that file. > and doesn't print anything.
