Subject: postscript error printing to network PCL laserjet

I've got netatalk 1.5pre5 built from source on my RH7 (well, it started
out as a RH7 machine, now kernel 2.4.2) box working nicely, except for
printing from my mac (OS 9.04 box).
The printer is an HP LaserJet 6L (non-postscript) with an Edimax PrintSir
Plus (PS-900+) 'pocket size' print server attached. The Linux machine
prints just fine to this server via LPR, including PostScript (well, the
RH printtool test page works fine anyway).
My papd.conf is pretty minimal:
ophelia:\
:pr=lp:
Unfortunately I can't print anything from the Mac. Syslog shows:
Mar 20 00:25:09 anubis papd[19861]: child 20140 for "ophelia" from
65345.119
Mar 20 00:25:09 anubis papd[20140]: read_ppd .ppd: No such file or
directory
Mar 20 00:25:10 anubis papd[20140]: lp_init: lock: No such file or
directory
Mar 20 00:25:10 anubis papd[20140]: lp_open failed
Mar 20 00:25:10 anubis papd[19861]: child 20140 done
Hmmm. I'm not sure how to proceed in trying to get this working. At one
time I was able to print to this printer from the mac, using Netatalk, but
the printer was attached to the PC's parallel port, not on the network
with a print server as it is now.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks -
