Abstract
Debian Linux 2.2 (Potato) uses the lpr spooling daemon. Many applications send postscript output to the printer. This code is not interpreted by non-postscript printers - they print the code instead, The result can be pages and pages of junk and a clogged print queue.
Ghostscript can render postscript files as graphics so that they can be printed on non-postscript dot-matrix, inkjet and laser printers. Apsfilter interfaces lpr to Ghostscript so that your printer will print postscript, text, images etc as graphics.
This article describes how to install and configure the Ghostscript and Apsfilter packages.
