Well, searching for "Inside_AppleTalk.pdf", I found several copies.
Here's one:

    http://www.ece.ucdavis.edu/~tmetz/Apple/

It's also contained in the AppleShare IP 6.1 SDK (and probably
others). I seem to recall that Inside AppleTalk v1 was a little better
in some regards than v2, but v1 is probably hard to find these days.

You should also get a bunch of docs from Adobe. Not only did they
write most of Apple's drivers and protocol stacks for many printers,
I'm pretty sure they were involved in writing the specs.

or even better:

Have fun!
