First full sentence (starting with "This is the ...")needs

to be rewritten.

2nd sample of a line from a Printcap file reads:


ljet4|lp|ps|PostScript|end of hall|local|COM1

This is _supposed_ to be same as the first line of the first
Printcap sample on that page which reads:

ljet|lp|ps|PostScript|600dpi 20MB memory|local|LPT1:

The ":" in the first sample doesn't need to be
repeated in the second - but the rest of the string should be
identical.

Last paragraph (excluding the footnote)

"sp variable" occurs twice in the third sentence.
Should this should be the "sd variable" in both instances?

3rd paragraph, last sentence reads:

"To unpack the package, put it in the
/usr/bin/apsfilter directory and enter:"

Given that the writer suggested installing this package in the
/usr/lib/apsfilter directory (see the wording of the second
sentence of that paragraph), you should change:

"/usr/bin/apsfilter" to "/usr/lib/apsfilter"

First line of code::

"Local_Path=/usr/bin/tex."

should probably read

"Local_Path=/usr/bin/tex"

(ie: remove the "." after "tex".)

Last paragraph, 5th line:

"... expect to find /var/spool/lpd as ..."

From reading the entire context of the paragraph it is
clear that the author intended this pathname to be:

" /usr/spool/lpd "

In other words, change "/var" to "/usr"
