8. Getting Printing Software

Many prewritten filter packages (and other printer-related software) are available from SunSite. Such utilities as psutils, a2ps, mpage, dvitodvi, flpr, etc can all be found there.

For a while, there were several packages out there all trying to make printer configuration easier. They probably all still exist, but one of the best and most up-to-date is Andreas Klemm's APS Filter package, which has a menu-driven printcap configurator and handles practically any type of input imaginable. If your vendor doesn't ship a nice printer setup tool, APS Filter is the way to go.
