I have installed apsfilter on my NetBSD-Amiga and had set it up for
converting postscript files automatically with ghostscript to pcl and
leaving text allone. This all works transparent by using lpr.
The user doesnt see anything of the conversion going on. Only the load of
course goes up:)

Of course you're right that postscript is ascii but file seems to recognize
it most of time (it is used by apsfilter).

Dont remember (no netbsd reachable) but i switched it of in /etc/printcap.
