I thought the problem had to do with the filter, but I'm not sure how to
fix it  : )

I am using the "postscript auto" filter for my printer, since it is not in
the list (cannon bj-230). I tried using the filter for similar cannon
printers, but attempting to print the test page caused the system to
become totally hung. Checking the doc that came with the printer revealed
that it can also be run as an epson lq (also not in the list). Any idea
what filter might work?

thanx. rav3n
