apsfilter and Epson Stylus C63 on Current

[edwinculp]

Malcolm, I want to thank both you and  "Andrew L. 
Gould" <algould at datawok.com> for the link to 
linuxprint.  I can now print very well with gimp 
but still haven't been able to get it working with 
lpd.  I can configure it in cups but it does 
nothing.  Apsfilter doesn't know it exists even 
though I just recompiled the latest ghostscript 
with the 4.1.7 version of gimp-print.  Thanks to 
you I'm getting closer :)
