I am afraid I have never used apsfilter to know its intricacies, although it
is claimed that it 'works straight out of the box'.  When I run this
command on my non-apsfilter CUPS set up this is what I get:
====================================================
# lpc reread
reread is not implemented by the CUPS version of lpc
====================================================

Someone else who is more versed on apsfilter will hopefully be able to help
- you may want to start a new thread with apsfilter included in the title?

PS. It is worth checking how many printer destinations are there and that
you have set up the correct default printer by:
=====================================================
# lpstat -a
Compaq-HP accepting requests since Jan 01 00:00
DeskJet-930C accepting requests since Jan 01 00:00
PS121 accepting requests since Jan 01 00:00
# lpstat -d
system default destination: PS121
=====================================================
The command lpoptions -d PS121 would set printer PS121 as the default
printer.
