Hi. I've been playing with trying to get my linux box to print postscript files which is all working nicely now. (YAY!)
Anyway along the way I downloaded apsfilter_4.9.1-10.deb from unstable. When I ran it all went nicely through the config script until it got to the point getting me to choose which printer driver I wanted. All of a sudden the hard drive screeched and my machine ground to a halt. The load average shot up to about (believe it or not) 89 which is the highest I have ever seen on a machine (486 dx4/100 with 16 MB RAM) . Eventually I managed to background it and see what was going on and there were about 40 copies of zless running though I couldn't see what they were reading. I cleaned up and decided to try again. The same thing started to happen and when I repeatedly hit CTRL-C it stopped and then carried on with the script. However in the end I couldn't get it to work (magic filter worked perfectly in the end so that was happy) for what I think in the end turned out to be that it defined my printer, a HP Deskjet 500, as a dj500 to ghostscript instead of djet500 as majicfilter did. Thus ends my bug report... I should file a proper one but it's late and if I wait til tomorrow I'll forget...
