Andy,
thanks for the answer.
It doesn't seem as if the server is answering queries about the printer. When I request info on a printer my Mac tells me "status: printer spooler processing job" and never finishes. Instead the server should simply and immediately return the requested information from the PPD, right?
Does PAPD possibly require a running AFPD for some obscure reasons?
