Hiho, I have a big problem trying to print using netatalk from my Linux (LinuxPPC R5 on an G3 beige Apple desktop) to a printer that is available via an Applenetwork. atalkd runs. I have a correct printcap file and a .paprc and papd.conf file. The directories (spool ...) are set up correctly. When I now try to print to the printer nothing happens. in /var/log/messages I get the following message: Jul 7 15:42:11 milo psf[4449]: starting for ? but then nothing happens. (Usually there should be somehting like "sending to pap" or so.) When I look at the lpd-errs file, my error-log that I defined in printcap, it is still empty. When I look at the lock file it has a name of a file with cf in the beginning, but this file is nowhere to be found. (I used R4 before and there the files appeared in the spool directory.) Then there is a .seq file that only contains three numbers: 00x with x being basically something like the number of times I tried to print something. It seems to be just a counter. When I look at the new rpm of netatalk there is something missing in comparison with the old ones. There seems to have been a directory called /usr/lib/atalk/filters which is now empty. (BTW, I do have psf, of course), Now, my question: What is going wrong? I assume that psf does not produce the file to be printed by pap. Why is that so? Thanks a lot, I'm really hoping for a quick answer, JP
