Yow! that's 32 megs. Had to be satisfied with simple
emerge hpijs.

Then it worked! Well, not quite. The test page printed
OK but when I ran lpc reread as per the instructions
at the close of the apsfilter setup, got this:

sarawak heathen # lpc reread
Printer 'lp@localhost' - cannot open connection - No
such file or directory
Make sure the remote host supports the LPD protocol

And an attempt at lpr -J test.txt resulted in

"...Sending job 'heathen@sarawak+929' to lp@localhost
Cannot open location to localhost no such file or
directory..."

And what's going on here:

heathen@sarawak ~ $ cat /etc/lprng/printcap
# /etc/printcap: printer capability database.
# $Header:
/var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/net-print/lprng/files/printcap,v

lp|Generic dot-matrix printer entry
        :lp=/dev/lp1
        :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp
        :af=/var/log/lp-acct
        :lf=/var/log/lp-errs
        :pl#66
        :pw#80
        :pc#150
        :mx#0
        :sh

# rlp|Remote printer entry
#         :lp=
#         :rm=remotehost
#         :rp=remoteprinter
#         :sd=/var/spool/lpd/remote
#         :mx#0
#         :sh

Why does it think my printer is at /dev/lp1? It's at
/dev/lp0 and that's where I pointed apsfilter-setup.
