But we have used it now for months under Suse linux and netatalk without any problems. > It sounds like lpr isn't communicating > with your printer properly, perhaps you're using the wrong filter?

I tried to read something about CUPS, but I did not fully understand it. Do I need a printserver for CUPS? And does the printer need an IP-adress? We do not have a unix-webserver until know and adress the printer via atalk, because we have an applenet but only a few linux machines as personal computers, not as servers. And if possible, we do not want to set up servers. > You were asking on the wrong list anyway. debian-user is where you > should be posting. In http://www.faqchest.com/linux/ATALK/linux-00/linux-0008/linux-000804/linux00081117_24803.html they mentioned a possible bug in lpd and therfor I thought, that devel could be appropriate. Sorry, if that is wrong. Yours sincerely, Vera Friederichs
