Heyya,
sorry i dont use the exact same filter as yourself for my deskjet, but
i use a filter called apsfilter and it works just fine and is pretty easy to
install and config. It also alows alot of configuration options if you
need them.
you can find it on sunsite.unc.edu or sunsite.edu.au
or from a readme i found :
(2) Here we'll put only final releases
ftp server : ftp.Germany.EU.net
directory : pub/os/Linux/Local.EUnet/People/akl
directory : pub/os/Linux/Incoming.EUnet
ftp the newest release from there. The current naming scheme for
apsfilter releases is: aps-Release.tgz
good luck.
