We are using a PC as a print/file server. We do this, so we can print
from Linux, Unix, Windows, Novell, and MacOS and have them all use the
same spool, and also have them all be able to use the same shared
directory. I've had this machine set-up before with Mandrake 7.1, and
all these things worked perfectly. I have since installed 7.2, and all
the other things are working. I installed Netatalk, and used the same
config files. AFPD is working correctly, but I can't make PAPD work.
I can generate the postscript files and move them to the Linux box, and
print them directly. I can also see the Printer listed under
LaserWriter8 in the chooser, but I cannot print directly to it from
MACOS. It always tells it's processing a job. Any help is
appreciated.
One of the things that I had to do to get netatalk cups to play nicely
together was to create a pseudo lpd. To do this I created a file
/etc/xinetd.d/cups-lpd containint the following
#
# cups-lpd -- print from mac
#
service printer
{
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = lp
server = /usr/lib/cups/daemon/cups-lpd
}
then restarted xinetd to get it all working
