LPRng and netatalk

I've got netatalk 2.1.38 running good on YDL on a Mac G3. My printer is a HP
LJ4M.

I installed LPRng, as per recommendations on these lists. Everything seems
to be set up correctly. If I print with lpr -Plp test.ps it shows up in the
queue. My HP blinks a few times -- then nothing. Guess the server keeps
trying cause a few seconds later the printer will blink twice again -- and
still nothing.

So: the file spools ok, the printer is being seen, but the job isn't going
through.

Printing with pap (pap -p "LJ4" test.ps) works fine.

I also installed LPRng on a completely different, well-functioning appletalk
network, using MkLinux with a LaserWriter IIg -- with the same results.

HELP!

Below are my config files:
