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,
        -Roger

Here's what my config files look like:

*-snip -*
# /etc/printcap
stc800|lp:\
         :sh:\
         :ml=0:\
         :mx=0:\
         :sd=/var/spool/lpd/stc800:\
         :lp=/dev/lp0:\
         :lpd_bounce=true:\
         :if=/usr/share/printconf/mf_wrapper:
*- snip -*

*-snip-*
# /etc/atalk/papd.conf
stc800:\
         :pr=stc800:\
         :op=admin:\
         :pd=/etc/atalk/EpsonStylusColor800.ppd:
