hi

I have a printer set up here with Apsfilter/Ghostscript on it. I can
print to 'ps' localy but not remotely. The printer resets itself and
does nothing more. I can print remotely/localy fine with the raw text
entry 'lp'. I'm not starting LPD with -s.

I have read about not being able to use filters localy and printing
the output to remote printers, but this isnt quite like that. though
it's similar.

so anyway here's my printcap files:

client:
-------
lp|line printer on kaput:\
	:lp=:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:lf=/var/log/lp-errs:\
	:rm=kaput:rp=lp:

ps|Ghostscript driver on kaput:\
	:lp=:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:lf=/var/log/lp-errs:\
	:mx#0:\
	:rm=kaput:rp=ps:

server:
-------
lp|local line printer:\
	:sh:lp=/dev/lpa0:\
	sd=/var/spool/output/lp:\
	lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:

raw|Epson LQ-200:\
	:sf:sh:lp=/dev/lpa0:sd=/var/spool/output/lp:\
	:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:

ps|lq850;r=360x180;q=medium;c=mono;p=a4;m=auto:\
	:lp=/dev/lpa0:\
	:if=/usr/local/etc/apsfilter/basedir/bin/apsfilter:\
	:sd=/var/spool/lpd/ps:\
	:lf=/var/spool/lpd/ps/log:\
	:af=/var/spool/lpd/ps/acct:\
	:mx#0:\
	:sh:

thanks for your help
