Anyone have Macs printing via a LinuxRedHat5.0 machine? (The netatalk
package included asun and pam patches)
I'm trying to set this up for my kids class at school. (And these kids
think every web page is worth printing!)
Volumes mount and unmount without a problem.
I have 3 Macs and 4Win95 machines and one HP560CAppleLocalTalk capable
printer. The printer is connected via an AppleLocalTalk/Ethernet router.
I was able to hack the RedHat printfilter to print from the Linux server
via netatalk/pap. And with Samba installed the Win95 machines print
without a problem.
Print jobs from the Mac however hang in the spool and papstatus
indicated printer is busy but nothing prints. Note that Linux and Samba
generated print requests enter the spool without a machine designation.
While the Macs all come in with the machine tagged to the file
ex. cf437buddies.com df437buddies.com
Linux and Samba generated print requests enter the spool with some sort of
file(empty) like
err....
No such file
err437
is generated with Mac print requests.
Any thoughts on what I have misconfigured/failed to configure?
Thanks.
