Well, I think I answered my own question. It seemed that the gimpprint option of 5 wasn't working but option 4 seems to work fine with a HD install. I haven't tried from the live cd.

I am really trying to get this printing thing down. I guess I need to be told like a 2nd grader.

What is exactly the apsfilter printer name? Is it the driver name? I added that info to bootlocal.sh and rebooted but I just don't seem to have any luck. I am trying to print with Abiword.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks

To anyone who is interested, it looks like I figured out my own problem. I realized that I was forgetting to complete the final step in setting up a printer by choosing the "I" option. This takes you to where you name your printer. After that, reload the printer. If you print from an app, do what robert states above. So if you gave your printer the name EPSON, your print command would be "lpr -h -PEPSON".

I can't believe I was just missing that one step! Linux is good at making you feel stupid at times!!

@CLIVE

...hi,
forgetting the final step is very easy in apsfilter - but your state

                     "After that,  r e l o a d  the printer"

is most important.
-thats the idea, I missed-    

THX, soo late
this forum is great !!! :;):
