First make sure that atalkd runs, this is the only one you need.
Next, type nbplkup and take a look at the printer's name.
Create a queue-dir for the printer and put a file named .paprc into this dir,
containing the name of the printer, followed by an @ and an asterisk. No quotes are
needed, even if the name contains spaces.
Edit /etc/printcap. lp=/dev/null:of=/wherever/sendtopap
Edit /wherever/sendtopap:
#!/bin/sh
/path/to/pap/pap -e -sstatus
Kick lpd's butt (lpc restart all) and try to print a PostScript file. I don't think
that this printer will accept anything but PostScript.
:wq! PoC
