Greetings:

Last night, I completed my upgrade to potato with an 'apt-get dist-upgrade'.
The only breakage I haven't been able to fix is in papd, or something
related.

When I try to print through the Debian system from a Macintosh, the file
goes into the print queue but the print queue stops. I get the following
message in lpr.log:

Oct 10 11:35:44 owl papd[1816]: child 2573 for "^Ideclaser" from 65280.173
Oct 10 11:35:46 owl papd[2573]: lp_conn_unix connect /dev/printer: Connection 
refused
Oct 10 11:35:46 owl papd[2573]: lp_print: lp_conn_unix: Connection refused
Oct 10 11:35:46 owl papd[1816]: child 2573 done

Since I don't have a /dev/printer, I sym linked it to /dev/lp0, but I still
get the same message amd the same symptoms.

lpq gives this result while the job is hung:

owl$ lpq
Warning: no daemon present
Rank   Owner      Job  Files                                 Total Size
1st    operator   67   untitled .(WP.                        10364 bytes

'lpc up lp' lets the job print and restores the queue to normal until
another Mac print job comes in.

Printing works fine from the local machine and from a windows machine
through samba.
