Sample of APS-Filter printcap file (ESP Ghostscript must be installed, as it provides the "gdi"/"samsunggdi" driver):
# APS1_BEGIN:printer1
# - don't delete start label for apsfilter printer1
# - no other printer defines between BEGIN and END LABEL
lp|samsunggdi;r=600x600;q=medium;c=gray;p=a4;m=auto:\

# APS1_END - don't delete this

| This printer has a DIMM expansion slot which can take a POSTSCRIPT 3 Emulator ROM. The ROM can be purchased online relatively cheaply (~65 Euro 18.08.2006). Its part number is ML-00PD. An example source www.csv.de. Once the module is installed the postscript drivers can be used.
The printer's memory can also be upgraded up to 144MB. This is also a DIMM module. The Samsung branded memory is rather expensive (500+ euro), a generic memory does the same job with out trouble. A 128MB generic memory module can be found for around ~65 Euro (10.04.2006) from for example best-electronics on ebay.de | ||||||||||||||||
