It appears that the directories used by apsfilter conflict with the current policy. The installation script, apsfilterconfig, installs separate log and accounting files for each printer, under /var/spool/lpd/PRINTERNAME/. These separate subdirectories are named in the /etc/printcap installed by the script. After reading the FHS document, and looking at /var/log, it appears to me that the log files at least (and probably the accounting as well) should go in /var/log/lp-acct and /var/log/lp-errs, or perhaps in /var/log/lpr.log. If these directories are to be changed, I think it can be done just by editing the SETUP script used by apsfilterconfig. --- Begin /etc/apsfilterrc (modified conffile) # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # A2PS_OPTS="-X iso1 --portrait --no-header --borders=no -1" # # # # # # DVIPS_RESOL_DorP=-D # # # # HTML2PS_OPTS="-e ISO-8859-1 -u -H" RECODE_OPTS="-q latin1:ibmpc" GS_FONTPATH=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1 # # # # # # #--- End /etc/apsfilterrc
