Subject: [netatalk-admins] Printing from Linux to MacOS StyleWriter

Hi,
I'm new with Netatalk.
I was looking for a method to be able to use my Apple Color StyleWriter
on my PC (I mean on Linux). I tried CopsTalk: worked fine for NFS but as
Windows 95 doesn't include any driver, it didn't work for printing.
I succeeded to configure my printer in MkLinux. It worked great and
became a Postscript printer. I failed to make rlpr work in Linux . And I
doubt about configuring a lpd spooler to work with my mklinux spooler,
but I might be wrong.
Then I tried netatalk even if I didn't see any discussion about my
printer.
Well, I'm not sure the installation process was all right.
Anyway, I installed atalkd, papd, afpd and added the services tcpmux,
rtmp,nbp,echo.
I can access Unix volumes from MacOS (via AppleVolumes.system) in
guest (Read Only).
I can see all my appletalk devices (see at the end of this document with
atalkd.conf)
with nbplkup.
But I cannot access to my apple printer with pap or papstatus (nbp
lookup failed).
I have loaded the afpfs and appletalk module (and AppleTalk DDP compiled
as a module in kernel)
Well, I guess I have failed one installation procedure or chosen a wrong
package?...
My list of package is:
netatalk-1.3.3.tar.gz
afpfs.tar.gz (March 4, 58533bytes)
Linux Intel 2.0.18
Thanks (and sorry for the size of my message...)
Philippe Mourey.
