We have been using netatalk for a couple of months and we have been very
pleased from the mac side (much much better than the commercial package we
were using to access NFS volumes), but have come across a problem with
printing files on the PC side.
The pcs connect to the sun 670 using PC-NFS and we are trying to use pap to
print to our ethertalked printers (especially our Compaq Pagemarq 20).
Text print jobs print out fine but postscript jobs are causing errors.
Excerpt of lpd-errs:
ofpap[11755]: starting
ofpap[11755]: sending to pap
%%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: ^D ]%%
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
ofpap[11755]: 11756 done
Printcap entry:
8|pagetalk|Pagemarq on AppleTalk:\
:lp=/dev/null:\
:lf=/var/adm/lpd-errs:\
:sd=/var/spool/pagetalk:\
:pw#80:\
:hl:\
:of=/usr/local/atalk/etc/ofpap:
:if=/usr/local/atalk/etc/ifpaprev:\
:tf=/usr/local/atalk/etc/tfpaprev:
The print job actually does print out but no banner page is printed and we
get a error message printed out from the printer after the print job as
follows:
Offending Command =
Error = nametype : undefined
this name is not defined in a dictionary
Stack =
0
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
