Firstly, thanks to Wes Craig and Shing Chi Cheung for correctly
solving my problem with "permission denied" messages when using pap.
The files status in the spool area needed to owned by daemon.
I have another question. It is not a problem with netatalk but with
the environment I would like to use it in. I would like to be able
to use papd to print from the Macs to the Unix printers. However, we
do not have Apple laserwriters but HP III-D printers. I can set up
papd fine and see the Unix spooler in the Mac Chooser, and send the job
from the Mac to the HP printer. However, the PostScript produced by the
Mac is incompatible with the HP printer. We are running System 6.0.7
on the Macs and I assume it is the LaserPrep which is the problem.
We only have one machine on System 7 at the moment and that seems to
produce PostScript that will print on the HP's. We intend to upgrade
all Macs to System 7 but not immediately, so if anyone knows of a workaround
to deal with the System 6 PostScript I would be glad to hear of any
suggestions. Apologies if the question is considered inappropriate for
this forum.
Thanks,
Neil Calton
