Title: macintosh printing via e-smith
Post by: Curtis Takano on April 19, 2001, 01:34:19 PM

Can e-smith act as a print server for Macintosh clients? I have a printer hooked up to the server for the Windows clients using PCL as the print language. I see the printer in Chooser on a Mac when the LaserWriter is chosen but it only prints rubbish. I am assuming that ghostscript needs to be installed to make the printing work.

any thoughts.

I believe I remember seeing something about this in the netatalk documentation (netatalk is the unix implementation of appletalk that is integrated into e-smith)...  I think what you're trying to do requires some modification of the netatalk config files, and I believe the thing you'll be interested in is the papd service, but don't quote me on that.

Go to the netatalk home page at http://www.umich.edu/~rsug/netatalk/ - they have a bunch of links there to some HOWTOs, FAQs, etc. on how to configure netatalk.

Sorry I can't be of more help.

Cheers
