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,
