Printer Problem

2001-04-01 Thread Dale Morris
Having just done another debian 2.2 reinstall, I'm having some printer problems. I have installed the apsfilter package and it works fine printing from netscape and printing text files, etc.. The problem is when I try to print from StarOffice. The printer starts but nothing is printed to the page.
