I run a hp1100 myself here _and_ use apsfilter. Wouldn't want it any
other way. Apsfilter makes printing easy. No hussle about which filter
to use for which data file. Everything just comes out of the hp1100 as I
expect it to. No cups either. Hate that package. Just the plain old lpr
stuff. Runs great. My home network all uses this printer. The other
machines use OSX, FreeBSD, win98 and win-XP.
