Need more details - what version of Linux is running the netatalk
package, is there anything in the syslog on that box either by papd or
lpd?

I had to adjust a few permissions on the lpd spool and the printer socket
with RedHat 6.2. I still have the disks around to look it up - we just
upgraded to RedHat 7.0 and papd stopped working altogether due to lpd
being replaced by lprng ...
