i have a hp laserjet 6l and want to set it up to print TeX files
(graphic fonts).
When I setup apsfilter with /usr/share/apsfilter/SETUP and then
have the option

3) printer driver natively supported by ghostscript
4) gimp-print (stp driver; version 4.2.x)
5) gimp-print (ijs driver; version 4.2.1 and later)
the rest is for me not usefull. I choose option 3.
And then press enter and get a list of printers.
I tried some, but the output was garbled, meaning i could see a raster
I don't want to waste paper, because i have little money. So I am asking
which printer do i need to choose?
