Hooray! I finally got my printer working! Ryan, your help compiling
ppmtomd was a big step.
If anyone is curious, I typed up a complete list of the steps that I
needed to take to get the printer working here:

Hopefully anyone else trying do get an alps printer working on and
intel mac will find it.
Thanks for all your help!

You can read its manpage to see if it's really the software you

After you install ppmtomd, type
man ppmtomd
I have looked at the man pages by opening ppmtomd.man in the
original source download. I haven't been able to run man on any
software I have downloaded through macports. Do I still have
something wrong with my macports install?
If typing "man ppmtomd" does not show you the ppmtomd manpage, and
ppmtomd is installed, then yes, something is wrong.
What OS version are you on, and what is the value of your MANPATH
environment variable?
I'm on Tiger, and my MANPATH is empty, and it works fine.
I'm on leopard.
My MANPATH is:
MANPATH=/usr/share/man:/usr/local/share/man:/usr/X11/man
I assume I need to add :/opt/local/share/man to it... should it
have done this automaticly?
or should I delete everything from MANPATH as you say yours is
empty....
Leopard does it differently, again, as usual. :( But one way to make
it work is to put /opt/local/share/man into MANPATH, yes.
