CUPS/Appletallk/LaserJet addendum...

[vze26m98 <vze26m98@optonline.net>]

OK-

Messed around most all day with this.  To recap:

Mostly stock Woody distro on Pismo laptop.
apt-get'd CUPS and installed.
Netatalk previously installed.

LaserJet 2100 TN with JetDirect 600 3110a.

Found Thomas Kaiser's pap backend script, placed in
     /usr/lib/cups/backend and made executable.

lpinfo -v shows pap as a device, along with my printer.
     
Used Lynx <http://localhost:631/admin> to setup LaserJet.
     recogizes pap and provides <pap://%2a/PET/LaserWriter>
     as a choice in the "add printer" sequence.
     
Selected 'HP' as model/device and the LaserJet .ppd that comes with CUPs
as .ppd:  'HP LaserJet Series CUPS v1.1 (en)'.

I've rebooted, show presumably CUPS has restarted.

Of course, can't get anything to print.

I can 'pap -p PET test.txt' and get a printout.

I can 'lp -d PET test.txt' and see the job created, but
     it's listed as cancelled after a while.
     
. . . . . . . . . . . . .

So it seems that I can print via pap/netatalk and can put a print job in
a CUPS queue via lp.  But I'm unclear what in between in giving me
trouble.  Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Charles
