It sounds to me like the Apple LaserWriter Utility padded the
11-character name "LaserWriter" with a space at the end, so the printer
is really named "LaserWriter ". Try:
/usr/local/atalk/etc/pap -p "LaserWriter " test.text
and see if that works. I think it should, although your next statement
makes me wonder:
>I tried to use nbplkup to see if any of my machines are in the NBP database.

Do you mean you can't see the NBP name of the workstation running netatalk,
or that you can't see anything at all? You might want to send the contents
of your atalkd configuration files to this mailing list if the above
fix doesn't work.
