I'm running and enjoying apsfilter.  I may have futzed around with things
when I was installing apsfilter, but everything print-wise is working with
the following.  I have built world since, though, a few times, so probably
these *are* correct....

% ll lp*
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel    2590 Apr 23 11:38 lp*
-r-sr-sr-x  1 root  daemon  25416 Apr 23 11:38 lpq*
-r-sr-sr-x  1 root  daemon  29132 Apr 23 11:38 lpr*
-r-sr-sr-x  1 root  daemon  24172 Apr 23 11:38 lprm*

IIRC, you could look at mtree(8) to authoritatively get things back to the
"original" ...
