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
