First the background:

Netatalk 1.4b2
FreeBSD 2.2.2
MacOs 8
LaserWriter 8.5.1
Printers HP LaserJet 4M, 4M+, Tektronics Phaser 560

When I set up my printers with papd, the printer information returned by
the chooser about the dpi of the printer and other items are incorrect.
If I try to download the font list, the chooser just hangs. I examined
the contents of the ppd files for the printers and they all have
interactive postscript to query the printer about its characteristics.
Does papd support these interactive statements?

I read through the man pages on papd, if there are other good references
for setting up printers with netatalk I would like to know about them.

Thanks in advance,
