Sorry, I'm only using the afpd part of netatalk. My /etc/init.d/atalk
doesn't even start papd. or timelord for that matter. Sounds like a
permissions problem though... when you say you can only print as root,
you mean it's an appletalk device and so you can only submit
successful jobs via 'lp' from the netatalk box while logged in as
root?
That sounds like a problem I had before I installed the new beta
kernel driver from Umich. As root I could 'nbplkup' but as no one
else. I'm guessing it had something to do with permissions, atalkd,
and /dev/ddp but I never took the time to figure out what. Just tried
a 'nbplkup' as me (not root) w/ the new driver and it works fine...
are you having trouble w/ or w/o the beta streams driver?
Anyone better-clued than me about this one?
Previously...
