Greetings,

I'm new to netalk and have just finished switching over from CAP. We are
runnig version 1.4b2 on FreeBSD 2.2.7. We have a Lexmark Optra Rn+ which
the BSD boxes connects remotely.

The essential services are all working great except for papd (at least
that is what I believe the problem is). When I go to print, the job just
sits in the queue. During setup, the Mac client seems to communicate with
the printer without any errors. If I reboot the Mac client, it appears to
be printing but nothing arrives at the printer. I have tried running papd
with and without a config file. Does anyone have any suggestions?

/Paul

The papd.conf file looks like:

CPROST Printer Spooler:\
                  :pr=lp:pd=/usr/local/atalk/ppd/lexmark.ppd:
 
printcap:

lp|CPROST Lexmark:\
        :rp=pslaser_cr:lp=/dev/lp:mx#0:rm=192.75.242.134:\
        :sd=/var/spool/output/lpd:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:

Some of the errors in printer log file:
