I never said "apsfilter" was the end-all in Unix printing and I agree 
that the linuxprinting.org site is useful. I've used that site myself 
when I was looking to buy an inkjet printer and I wanted one that would 
work under Unix.

I do find "apsfilter" to be quite handy since I only need to create a 
single print queue on my print server now. Before that I used to have 
to create multiple queues so I would have "raw" printers for the 
Windows clients and then another queue with a filter that converted 
PostScript to Laserjet 4 output for my PCL-based HP printer for Unix 
clients.
