I've got netatalk 2.1.38 running good on Yellow Dog Linux on a Mac G3. My
printer is a HP
LJ4M.
I installed LPRng, as per recommendations on netatalk lists. Everything
seems to be set up correctly. If I print with lpr -Plp test.ps it shows up
in the
queue. My HP blinks a few times -- then nothing. Guess the server keeps
trying cause a few seconds later the printer will blink twice again -- and
still nothing.
So: the file spools ok, the printer is being seen, but the job isn't going
through.
Printing with pap (pap -p "LJ4" test.ps) works fine.
I also installed LPRng on a completely different, well-functioning appletalk
network, using MkLinux with a LaserWriter IIg -- with the same results.
HELP!
Below are my config files:
