I tried this with no luck:
apas.cary$ /usr/local/atalk/etc/pap -p "LaserWriter " atalkd.conf
LaserWriter [5294]: No Such Printer
/usr/local/atalk/etc/pap[5294]: send file failed

I see the workstation:
apas.cary$ nbplkup =:=@*
apas:AFPServer 0.2:128
apas:Workstation 0.2:4
but I was wondering if any of the netatalk utilities allow me to see the
other devices by name. I have used aecho to see that there are
devices at 0.0,0.1,0.2,0.3,0.12. I have six devices but one of these
is a NeXT with a flakey appletalk interface. I do not know how to
tell which address goes with which device. My atalkd.conf file is:
ifconfig en0 0.0
ifconfig lo0 0.0
en0 apas
route en0 lo0
zone apas
I presume the name, apas, which I want eventually in phase-2, means nothing
now. I use this name for both the workstation name and the appletalk
zone name.
Hints?....Thx....John Cary
