AppleTalk objects register themselves on the network, so You can
reference them by name and don't need their address.
atalkd.conf configures the AppleTalk routing daemon, and has nothing
more to do with printing. You don't really need a network range this
wide for a zone; if You pick one network number (like range 123-123),
that can accomodate ~250 nodes on the network, which should be
sufficient in most cases.
The Appletalk printing (unsing Your FreeBSD box) can be done like this:
Macintosh -> papd -> lpd -> pap -> LaserWriter, where papd, lpd and pap
are in the FreeBSD box. Please man papd, man pap, and man lpd if needed.
If You really don't need authorization (passwords) on Your network, I
would recommend using the Guest facility; this way, users wouldn't even
have to enter a username to connect to Your server.
Feel free to mail me for more info.
Sincerely,
Andras Kadinger
