Thanks for the advice, Robert. Did it. Found the proper printer
driver & set it up. Took a long time to connect to an ftp server
that had it (in case someone else has to do the same thing, don't
cancel, it'll find a server eventually that has it). Apsfilter
is setup now. Still have to fiddle with Samba settings. Had it
setup once before a long time back when I was running FreeBSD
4.7, I believe, on my old laptop. It'll just take some patience
& tinkering. Thanks again for the help.
