Hi, found a driver for an HP Deskjet 820 on www.linuxprinting.org , great site, and downloaded it. Where does it go so that apsfilter can find it? Presently getting message: not able to find pnm2ppa. Also, how does this info get saved locally so that the cofiguration does not have to be done after each boot? Thanks very much. DSL is great.

For liveCD users to add the following to the filetool.lst

1. /opt/apsfilter
2. /opt/printcap
3. /var/spool/lpd

If a special driver is needed then as was posted above then add that too.
