FreeBSD/apsfilter and lptest

Hi all.

A funny here, I cannot find any reference to it on the web or mailing
lists, not to say that it's not there :(  I also cannot get through to
the apsfilter website (refused connections for some reason).

I'm setting up a Canon bJ200 printer on FreeBSD stable.  I followed the
Printer setup section of the handbook successfully.

I installed apsfilter, and got a beautiful (for the printer) apsfilter
test page out.

However lpctest output seems to be identified by apsfilter as 'assembler
source':
--------------------------------------------------------------
apsfilter fatal error: unsupported file type 'assembler source'

If you think you can help us to support files of this type,
please contact us on <apsfilter-hackers at apsfilter.org>.


-- apsfilter, your lpd input filter
--------------------------------------------------------------

As does file:

# lptest 79 60 > /tmp/a
# file /tmp/a
/tmp/a: Assembler source
# cat /tmp/a
!"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`abcdefghijklmno
"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`abcdefghijklmnop


Any ideas?
