I've just installed apsfilter on the latest FreeBSD 5.3 to print with my
epson stylus color 640 (driver eps640lp.upp) following both the handbook
chapter on printing & an artcle in freebsddiary.org.
But:
1) If I - running apsfilter SETUP - use the 'T'(est) option, the PC tiringly,
after un unbearable couple of minutes or so, starts printing a first row
of squares of the test picture only, then seems to hang, emitting from time
to time a (useless) sound. At this point it's better to stop CTRL+Del.
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"
and doesn't print anything.
Please help.

Is it a permissions issue? IIRC, I had an issue with permissions
the first time I set up apsfilter.
Here are my permissions on /var/spool and friends:
# ll /var/spool | grep lpd && ll /var/spool/lpd && ll /var/spool/lpd/lp
drwxr-xr-x 5 root daemon 512 Mar 22 2004 lpd/
total 1
drwxr-xr-x 2 root daemon 512 Mar 2 20:55 lp/
total 41
-rw-r----- 1 root daemon 84 Apr 8 2004 .railmag
-rw-r----x 1 root daemon 4 Mar 2 20:55 .seq*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root daemon 0 Mar 21 2004 acct
-rw-r--r-- 1 root daemon 33 Mar 2 20:55 lock
-rw-r--r-- 1 root daemon 42235080 Mar 2 20:55 log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root daemon 25 Mar 2 20:55 status
HTH,
