Hi,
New to the list, scanned the archives and didn't find and answer so here is
a question.
I have setup Netatalk 1.4b2 on Linux 2.0.33. and it works for the most part.
I am able to mount file spaces and publish print devicesfrtom the
/etc/printcap. I have set up the papd.conf and the printers show up in the
Chooser. I am able to print to the printers from a Mac but they seem to be
setting in the queue for an inordinant amount of time sometime forever. Is
there a timeout that needs set somewhere? I am able to print insrtantly
using lpr -P$Printername $filename. and that also prints the file queued
from the Mac out. Is there something I need to do to have the lpd daemon
take notice there are jobs waiting in /var/spool/lpd/$spooldir.
I have read conflicting reports on using /dev/null in printcap as the lp
device. I am doinf that. I am also using LPRng 3.4.1. Any help woule be
appreciated.
