Hi Folks,

I've gotten netatalk to print from unix devices, but am having trouble getting
Macs to work. I get the following messages (in /usr/adm/messages):

Jan 28 10:23:02 majink1.itc.Virginia.EDU papd[10820]: read_ppd .ppd: No such
file or directory
Jan 28 10:23:28 majink1.itc.Virginia.EDU papd[10820]: lp_conn_unix connect
/dev/printer: No such file or directory
Jan 28 10:23:28 majink1.itc.Virginia.EDU papd[10820]: lp_print: lp_conn_unix: No
such file or directory

my printcap looks like:

lp|forest_l1| HP LaserJet 4, Forestry 135, ITC:\
        :lp=/dev/null:mx#0:\
        :lf=/usr/spool/print/forest_l1/lpd-errs:pw#80:sh:sf:\
        :if=/usr/local/atalk/etc/filters/ifpap:\
        :sd=/usr/spool/print/forest_l1:

my /usr/local/atalk/etc/papd.conf looks like:

forest_l1:\
        :pr=lp:

I'm following the directions as shown in "How to setup the printer using
Appletalk" by Werner Eugster.

Does anyone know what I'm leaving out?

Thanks for your help.
