I did a test print run last night, and it was pretty easy. Type 'nbplkup' to get the list of printers. Type 'pap -p"printer name" file_name' to print a file. Now to get it working with lpd (or CUPS, as another poster suggested). > only problem I've ever had with the LocalTalk bridge software is with my > PowerBooks running OS 8.1. I think the bridge is "unsupported" in Mac OS 8.1 and later. In other words, it may or may not work. > I would recommend to anyone setting up Netatalk to use a separate > directory in your home directory for the Mac files.

Linux is free. :D Not to mention that I tried IPNetRouter in a business, and it was so unreliable it ended up getting me fired. >:( I was relatively new on the job at the time, which was a contributing factor. Another benefit to using MacIP is that it is encapsulated in AppleTalk packets so you don't have to worry about your ISP's flakey setup (ie. conflicting internal IP addresses), or using a second ethernet interface.
