No, not really. ;-)
I (mostly) don't want to print onto a spooler of my linux box,
but via the famous program "pap" from my linux box to an AppleTalk printer.

It's just the other way ... :-(

I do use DDP exclusively, running MacOS 7.6.1 on my IIfx (no AppleTalk via IP!).
7.6.1 is the latest - and last - for that machine.
So, no way!
