Subject: [netatalk-admins] netatalk on Solaris: can't print

Hi,
I'm wondering whether anyone could shed any light on my problem.
I've built netatalk-990130 on a SparcStation 5 with Solaris 7 using
Sun's C compiler. It builds and installs with no problems. However I
cannot print; Mac clients seem to be able to see "the printer" (well
the queue) and that's all: they cannot 'Setup' or print
successfully. My main test client is running MacOS 7.5.5 but we have
similar problems with another MacOS 8.x machine.
My papd.conf is:
dcs_lex Optra S2450\:LaserWriter:\
pr=|/usr/ucb/lpr -Pdcs_lex:pd=/etc/lp/printers/dcs_lex/OptraS.ppd:op=testusr:
- I do no file sharing as yet.
My atalkd.conf file is:
le1 -seed -phase 2 -addr 4050.1 -net 4050-4099 -zone "DCS Admin Macs"
le3 -seed -phase 2 -addr 4100.1 -net 4100-4149 -zone "DCS DHCP Macs"
I have tried a number of things, e.g. the PPD file had ^Ms (carriage
returns) instead of linefeeds, so I changed that. I have also looked
at what's getting syslog'ed (not a lot), for example I see when the
Mac tries to print:
Oct 20 17:24:15 crab papd[231]: child 1370 for "dcs_lex Optra S2450" from 4117.44
... but this seems to timeout eventually.
If anyone else out there is successfully printing with Solaris and
netatalk I would be interested to hear from you. Or if anyone has any
suggestions, could they please help me out,
Many thanks in advance,
Chris. Garnett
