Very Computer

I'm using SuSE 6.2...

I set up appletalk printing as described in various sources,
and still have no luck printing to appletalk printers. the
printer is demonstrably online and alive and findable with
nbplkup. I can print on it by cat'ing a file directly to
ifpap, but I can't convince lpd to do the same. It doesn't
appear to be writing to the ifpap filter. It just spools
the file to the spool directory and goes to sleep. Oddly, it
also never writes to the log file either, but does find the
spool direcotry just fine.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Here are my files:

        - printcap

lwp-140|AppleLW 600dpi_GEO (Raum 140, Appletalk):\
        :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lwp-140:\
        :lp=/dev/null/:\
        :lf=/var/spool/lpd/lwp-140/log:\
        :if=/usr/lib/atalk/filters/ifpap:\

        :tr=:cl:sh:sf:

        - Spool directory (with dormant print job)
