Hi, I am having a problem setting up netatalk 1.3b2 printing
from the Mac's to our Unix printers. Here is what I have done:
I have been working with the mac printers first:
the printcap file looks like so:
loraine|Lorraine's Printer on Appltalk:\
:printer=/dev/loraine:lf=/var/adm/lpd-errs:pw#80:hl:\
:of=:DESTDIR:/etc/ofpap:\
:if=:DESTDIR:/etc/ifpaprev:\
:tf=:DESTDIR:/etc/tfpaprev:
when papd start is gets an unknown printer lp error?
this printer is on a zone called DEV. Do I have to create a device
entry for /dev/loraine or can it be a link to /dev/printer? Also
/dev/printer is a socket that is created when print services are
started. I would also imagine that the /etc/printcap file on our
printserver will have to contain an entry for all the Mac printers,
that we'd like to use via netatalk.
Another question how do you distinguish the zones in the printcap
file?
any help would be appreciated
Curt
