Well, it seems I'm still having issues with apsfilter. It prints the first 1/4 of the page on one sheet and the other 3/4 on another. I'm now trying the foomatic-rip script again, which is yielding the same result as last time. Some one emailed me a nice set of instructions off list, but I no longer have them since I thought apsfilter was working. Below is my /etc/printcap file, I have a2ps, hpijs and ghostscript all installed. Any help would be great, thanks.
