The salient paragraph:
papd is typically started at boot time, out of /etc/rc. It
first reads from its configuration file,
/usr/local/atalk/etc/papd.conf. The file is in the same
format as /etc/printcap. See printcap(5) for details. The
name of the entry is registered with NBP.
If you name the entry something like:
Printer Spooler\072NotALaserWriter:\
:etc:
you'll register the name "Printer Spooler" with the type
"NotALaserWriter". The \072 is the octal value for ascii ':'. Since
':' is interpreted by the termcap libraries, it must be escaped in this
way. I guess you could say that's a little obfuscated...
