Grab my authenticated printing patches from:

http://web.orst.edu/~morgan/netatalk/

These are patches against asun2.1.4pre37/39 versions. You should have a
look at the README in that directory first though to understand how it
works. You'll need to be running LaserWriter 8.5.1 or greater on your
macs for it to work.

I'll have a patch for CAP-style authenticated printing which will work
with any mac sometime in the near future.
