Well, I assume that it's *not* a configuration problem on the printer,
but a bug. There is a variable, ddp_cksum, in the netatalk kernel
module which will disable DDP checksum calculations. You can set it in
sys/netatalk/ddp_output.c and rebuild, or you can set it in the already
built module with:

    adb -w /usr/local/atalk/etc/netatalk.o
    ddp_cksum?W0

Or, you can set it in the running system with:

    adb -w -k /usr/local/atalk/etc/netatalk /dev/mem
    ddp_cksum/W0

If you set it in the running system, it will need to be done after each
reboot.
