Description

Apsfilter is the number one magic filter for printing in the Unix environment. What does apsfilter stand for? Apsfilter Prints So Fine, It Leads To Extraordinary Results ;-) It's highly configurable and most flexible by global and printer dependent config files and allowing users to choose between different print options with lpr on the commandline to get easy control over layout, speed and quality of the printing process. Apsfilter supports PS (Postscript) printer and non-PS capable printer by using Ghostscript as PS emulator. So if you have a non-expensive color DeskJet printer, Apsfilter and Ghostscript enhance your printers capabilities, that you'll get a Color Postscript Printer in return for free! Printing on locally connected (serial, parallel, USB) and on network printer like Unix-, Windows-, Novell and AppleTalk remote printer is supported.
