Subject: Need help with papd

When I try to print from my MacOS X computer to my RedHat 7.1 Linux computer,
I get the following error on my MacOS X computer:
"This print job failed due to a printer PostScript
error. (Spooler error.)"
When I look at /var/log/messages on the linux computer, I see the following:
*- snip -*
Aug 28 19:49:15 icarus papd[9865]: child 9874 for "stc800" from 65397.229
Aug 28 19:49:17 icarus papd[9874]: lp_init: lock: No such file or directory
Aug 28 19:49:17 icarus papd[9874]: lp_open failed
Aug 28 19:49:20 icarus papd[9865]: child 9874 done
*- snip -*
I setup up the printer using printconf-gui, and printing works fine
directly from the Linux box. This same configuration was working
fine under RedHat 6.1.
I'm using Netatalk version. netatalk-1.4b2+asun2.1.3-6
Any help would be greatly appreciated since Mac OS X doesnt' support my
serial Epson Stylus Color 800. (USB ones are no problem).
Thanks,

Here's what my config files look like:
