I'm having problems printing from a Mac (os 8.5 i do believe) to a
Debian Linux (woody) machine with an HP LaserJet 6MP PostScript
printer. Its using the latest lprng, and netatalk packages. Printing
from the localhost and from one Linux machine to another works fine.
Printing from NT to Linux works fine, but whenever i try to print from
the mac i get a "PostScript Error".

If anyone out there can help me figure out what i'm doing wrong here,
the help would be much appriciated.

Thanks,

Grant

I'm attatching my configuration files (papd.conf, and printcap) as well
as some messages from the syslog:
