Subject: [netatalk-admins] Problems with PAPD

Sirs,
I am having problems getting papd to work. We are using Apple System 7.x,
Laserwriter 8 drivers.
The atalk daemon is running on Sun Sparc 5, SunOS 4.1.4.
Here's the papd.conf:
chronos-little:\
:lp=:rm=chronos:rp=little:\
:pd=/usr/atalk/etc/ppd/lzr_1560.ppd:\
:lf=/usr/adm/lpd-errs:
The printer is local to chronos. Here's the printcap:
little|post1|Asize|dp11|littlep|Asizep|dp11p:\
:lp=/dev/pm00:\
:sd=/usr/spool/little:\
:of=/usr/local/bin/littlepr:\
:ms=-opost:sh:\
Here's the atalkd.conf:
le0 -phase 2 -net 2 -addr 2.140 -zone "EtherTalk"
Here's what I get in lpd-errs:
Nov 20 06:59:46 chronos papd[2075]: restart
Nov 20 06:59:52 chronos papd[2075]: register chronos-little:LaserWriter@*
Nov 20 07:00:37 chronos papd[2075]: child 2138 for "chronos-little" from 2.26
ps -axl yields:
88001 0 2138 2075 0 1 0 56 200 select S ? 0:00 /usr/atalk/e
Presumably, this should work. However, the mac is Can't open printer'.
It also says that 'lj is ready and printing[]' the '[]' is actually a square
control character.
I'm hoping that there is some obvious step that I am missing.
The printer is a Dataproducts LZR 1560. I obtained the ppd file from the Adobe
site. here is the head of the file:
*PPD-Adobe: "4.0"
*% Adobe Systems PostScript(R) Printer Description File

*% of the file is not altered in any way from its original form.
*% End of Copyright statement
*FormatVersion: "4.0"
*FileVersion: "1.4"
The file is in the correct format; that is, there are line breaks.
Thanks,
