Hi,
we are having problems trying to run our Apple
LaserWriter from a Linux Server (Suse) using netatalk
1.5.0. The AppleTalk daemons are running correctly,
and printing via the "pap -p prntername file.eps"
command works fine. However, printing via the lpr
command does not work. Instead, we are getting the
following error from ifpap in our messages log file:
Jan 16 17:31:19 pc-c ofpap[10914]: starting for ?
Jan 16 17:31:19 pc-c ofpap[10914]: sending to

and this is our printcap:
