Hello I am new to Linux and this is probably FAQ. I have tried installing my printer using apsfilter but I am stuck. When I go into interface setup, and select local parallel printer, then I am asked for the path. This is where I am lost...

How do I figure out the path? When I boot up apsfilter the machine says /var/spool/lpd, is this the path? When I type this in I get an error message.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Chad.
