Hello all,

I just spent a frustrated day trying to set up printing an a Solaris 2.6
Box. I did not succed.

Solaris is printing fine on it's attached QMS Laser on /dev/bpp0 (parallel
port). The Printer is named lp, -> the default printer. I set up papd.conf
like:

QMS-PS415:\
                :pd=/opt/atalk/ppd/QMS-PS410:

Now: Do I have to have an /etc/printcap, for netatalk to recognize which
device it has to print on??

I would appreciate any help, since I am (not) yet an experienced Sysadmin.

TIA

Lukas Karrer
