Subject: [netatalk-admins] One Mac won't print!

I have netatalk 1.4b2 running under RedHat Linux 5.0 and everything was
working just fine with all of the Macs in our office. We got a new G3
PowerMac and for some strange reason I cannot get it to print to the HP
DeskJet 6MP we have. All the other Macs can, but not the G3. I have
tried every possible confiuration on both the Mac and Linux side and
nothing will print. The really weird thing is that I had *thought* that
the G3 wasn't even connecting to the Linux box but when I click on the
"Update Printer Info" in the Chooser/Laserwriter8/printername/Info I am
getting the following in the logfiles:
Jan 16 15:42:39 wtlinux papd[2680]: child 3286 for "Marty's_Printer" from
46672.73
Jan 16 15:42:39 wtlinux papd[3286]: read_ppd .ppd: No such file or directory
wtlinux papd[2680]: child 3286 done Jan 16 15:43:16 wtlinux afpd[3240]: done
(sidenote: I have always got the "read_ppd .ppd: No such file or
directory". Not sure why as I have the following in my /etc/papd.conf:
Marty's_Printer:\
:pd=/etc/hp_laserjet.ppd:pr=marty:op=daemon:
)
BUT when I send any print job from the G3 I get *nothing* in any log file
to indicate that any connection was made.
This is driving me batty!
Is this most likely a Mac problem? If it is, how in the heck might I fix
it? I need ugly config files, and Macs just don't have em!! ;)
Thanks,
-Brian
