Hi there...
Are there any significant issues with this version of Netatalk that would
make it preferable to fall back to an earlier release?
My network is a linux box with two Macs on an internal network (eth0) and a
cable internet connection (eth1). Connected locally to the linux box is an HP
LaserJet 4050. Previously, I have run netatalk-1.4b2+asun2.1.3-4 under Red
Hat 6.2, which allowed the two Macs to print to the 4050 with no problems.
I'm now using Mandrake 7.2 on the linux box and I've installed
Netatalk-1.5pre3-1. Some of the complicating factors are (1) that I'm running
a firewall, and (2) that I'm running CUPS (versus lpr under Red Hat).
When I print from either Mac (running different versions of MacOS, both of
which printed correctly using etatalk-1.4b2+asun2.1.3-4), I get an error that
says, "The document [doc_name] could not be printed. A connection was made to
the printer, but the printer is currently not responding to queries." This is
MacOS Error -8993.
I definitely have connectivity -- i.e., I can ping both ways and the Macs can
get to the internet. I've temporarily taken down the firewall and this has
had no visible effect (plus I've added a rule which gives the two Macs full
access to the linux box when the firewall is running).
So I've concluded that this is a problem with my CUPS configuration and I'm
kinda dreading troubleshooting it.
If you have any experience with CUPS in a Mac/Linux environment , I'd be
really pleased to hear from you. (In the meantime, I'm going to remove this
version of Netatalk and install the older one.)
Cheers.
M.
