Thanks roberts will get on that
thanks cbagger01 for shareing what you use..my understanding of cups is that it is an online service..My personal view is that if I have to send my shopping list off to a server somewhere to be transformed and sent back to my printer..there is something wrong with my computer system..so I'm happy to find a printer that just works with dsl..but nice to know it's available if nessessary.

If any one has installed a printer via a parellel port useing the apsfilter setup program on dsl to dsl without useing cups...I am very interested in the make/model and the driver you used from which list in aps filters...I hope to use them as a list for the purchase of a printer for this dsl unit. wish to search for printers known to work..any posts would also help anyone interested in installing a printer to dsl via this method...thanks for any

CUPS is not an online service.

It is a printer daemon that runs just like apsfilter. The big difference is the CUPS user interface is web-based (on the local PC). So you use your web browser (Firefox) to change your CUPS settings, similar in concept to the "webmin" program.

Too bad, bjc1000 is supported by apsfilter. If you got a test page then you should be able to print. Of course you need to start the printer daemon. But what a ridiculous assertion that you wonder if any printer actually works with apsfilter. I use my HP Laserjet 4050TN everyday. I have helped my neighbor's and friends setup with various printers as well.
