Hi all,
while I've become accustomed somehow (thanks to you, mostly :) to afpd and atalkd configuration and admin, but I have _just_ finished reading the papd manual and some basic linux printing docs;
I am evaluating the possibility to get some epson stylus color usb ink jet printers to work over the net with macos and windows boxes accessing them over the print dialog.
My (_very_) newbie questions are:
- Is papd needed, or is it just the 'printing atalkd', i.e. a daemon to get the jobs transferred over the AppleTalk protocol? Or is it usable over TCP/IP too?
- Any good links/hints/manpages on how to set up a standard 'lpr protocol' print server over TCP/IP, so that creating a printer symbol via LPR protocol with the appropriate ppd would be enough on the mac, as well as (similarly) on windows2k?
Thanks very much,
:-)
Lorenzo
