Debian also has printtool in Woody. The only distro that doesn't is Slackware.

Have you tried to set it as a generic text-only printer? Some printers (like the HP DeskJet 720) will not work with Linux. You may have to put a line in your .profile (or whatever your startup script is called) that defines the PRINTER environment variable:
PRINTER=HPDeskJet
export PRINTER

apsfilter on mine is in
/usr/share/apsfilter/bin/apsfilter
That is not on a PATH, you have to execute it from that .../bin directory. ??
In any case what is the error message?
