- Works with no hassle as generic Postscript parallel
- printer.<p>
-
- Works slightly faster over ethernet, but requires an AAUI to
- 10baseT adaptor on the printer, and the netatalk package
- installed.<p>
-
- To use as an Appletalk printer under LPRng (RedHat 7.x), configure
- with printtool as a local printer attached to /dev/null, then edit
- $spooldir/general.cfg and change PRINTER_TYPE=ATALK, and create a
- file in the spooldir called ".paprc" containing the Appletalk name
- of the printer (the default is "Laserwriter"). Contrary to the
- netatalk HOWTO, comments in this file will screw things up
- (because of dumb code in LPRng's master filter).<p>
-
- With CUPS (RedHat 9), install David Mathog's pap backend
- driver
- (http://saf.bio.caltech.edu/pub/software/linux_or_unix_tools/pap)
- into /usr/lib/cups/backend. Change the paths to pap and psf to
- "/usr/bin/pap" and "/usr/sbin/psf" respectively (not
- /usr/local/(s)bin), and chmod 755 it. Then use CUPS's
- web-based config. Or use RedHat printconf to create a local
- printer on /dev/null, then edit the DeviceURI in
- /etc/cups/printers.conf to read "pap://Laserwriter". If you have
- several Laserwiters, read the real instructions for the pap
- backend at <a

- Changing the AppleTalk name, setting resolution (300dpi or 600pdi)
- and enable/disabling test-page-at-power-up needs a Mac (or in my
- case, an Amiga with ShapeShifter - maybe MOL works, or
- UAE+Shapeshifter, but I don't know if they support device-level
- access to the network card) and Apple's printer control software
- (available from ftp.apple.com).<p>

- Thanks to Duncan Gibb (linuxprinting at duncangibb dot com) for
- these comments.<p>
