Hello all, I have had a Debian 2.1 setup running for several months as an AppleTalk printer server. It has worked quite well until the last few days. Now whenever I try to print from one of the Mac's on the network (or from a linux machine through the AppleTalk network with 'pap'). I can still print localy with 'lpr' and remotely with 'rlpr' on the affected machine
Here is the errors I get: /var/log/lpr.log: Jan 1 17:29:34 whitehouse papd[433]: child 718 for "DeskJet" from 21.4 Jan 1 17:29:34 whitehouse papd[718]: lp_conn_unix connect /dev/printer: No such file or directory Jan 1 17:29:34 whitehouse papd[718]: lp_print: lp_conn_unix: No such file or directory Jan 1 17:29:34 whitehouse papd[433]: child 718 done Jan 1 17:30:34 whitehouse lpd[728]: lp: job could not be printed (cfA012whitehouse.dyn.ml.org) Now, I'm no expert on such matters, but I assume that /dev/printer is a unix socket for that lpd manages for local printing jobs. I have no such file listed under my /dev/ directory. I recently upgraded a bunch of packages that had available updates via dselect/apt, but I have to admit that I didn't notice if lpd or netatalk was among them. All of my config files (i.e. printcap, papd.conf, etc) are unchanged from the versions that were working a few days ago. Any help with this perplexing problem would be greatly apprectiated.
