    Hello all,

    I'm trying to get my DeskJet 720C printer set up. It already works 
on Linux and Windows on the same box. I installed apsfilter, ran SETUP, 
apspreview works allright, lpd is running, gs -h shows pnmraw... Here :


/etc/printcap :

lp|local line printer:\
         :sh:\
         :lp=/dev/lpt0:sd=/var/spool/output/lpd:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:

aps1|ppa/720;r=300x300;q=medium;c=full;p=a4;m=auto:\
     :lp=/dev/lpt0:\
     :if=/usr/local/etc/apsfilter/basedir/bin/apsfilter:\
     :sd=/var/spool/lpd/aps1:\
     :lf=/var/spool/lpd/aps1/log:\
     :af=/var/spool/lpd/aps1/acct:\
     :mx#0:\
     :sh:


/usr/local/etc/apsfilter/aps1/apsfilterrc :

PRINTER='ppa/720'
PAPERSIZE='a4'
METHOD='auto'
QUALITY='medium'
COLOR='full'
RESOLUTION='300x300'


   Now whenever I try to print anything, nothing happens, and this is 
what I see when I cat /var/spool/lpd/aps1/log :


Error: /ioerror in --.outputpage--

Current allocation mode is local

GNU Ghostscript 7.06: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1


    Any help much appreciated, I can't find anything else online. 
There's   also an error that happens when I don't use the -C option in 
lpr, though I don't think it's related:

apsfilter warning: unknown option 'localhost.localdomain'

    Some unimportant bug for what I've seen..
    Anyway I can't print anything.. anyone?

Thanks in advance,
