Subject: [netatalk-admins] Linux Netatalk printing problem
From: Mikael Jokela (mjokela@ursa.fi)

I have a Mac workstation and a Linux box (2.0.33) with Netatalk
(1.3.3) and HP Laserjet 5MP printer. The appletalk daemon and
papd are running in Linux. I want to print to the Linux printer
from the Mac but it doesn't work, I don't know why.
When I submit a printer job from Mac, the Mac seems to be printing
something and says: 'PS is ready and printing' (PS being the
Linux printer queue). However, Mac does nothing until I reboot it.
On the Linux side, there appeares a message it the log saying:
'papd: child 12345 for "printer name" from 12345.123'
However, nothing appeares in the printer queue and nothing comes
out.
I've tried virtually everything I can think of. I've changed
lpd binaries, printer ppd files, printer queues.. Nothing works.
Please, help me with this problem if something comes to your mind
about this. I have to get things working..
/etc/papd.conf:
# Attributes are:
#
# Name Type Default Description
# pd str ".ppd" Pathname to ppd file.
# pr str "lp" LPD printer name.
# op str "operator" Operator name, for LPD spooling.
#
lp:\
:pr=lp:op=mac:pd=/hplj5p_1.ppd:
PS:\
:pr=PS:op=mac:pd=/hplj5p_1.ppd:
Dubhe-PS:\
:pr=PS:op=mac:pd=/t/hp_20laserjet_205mp.ppd:
