KDEPrint expects the system config dir of APSFilter to be
/etc/apsfilter, and also looks for available drivers in
an */apsfilter/setup/ dir with '*' being /usr/share,
/usr/local/share or /opt/share. The driver file names are
expected to start with "printer-".

You should use "LPR/LPRng" as print plugin in KDE (bottom of the
print manager). Try to create a printer and looks into the
/etc/printcap file if it contains a correspinding entry. It
might help to reproduce this entry here.

Note that the APSfilter support has been implemented 3 years
ago, so there might be some incompatibilities with more recent
APSFilter releases (I don't follow APSFilter development).
