Subject: Printing problem under RedHat 7.1

I'm trying to get papd working on my RedHat 7.1 box with a HP 2100M
hooked to the parallel port (/dev/lp0). I can print fine from the
console on that machine and from Windows machines (via samba), but I
can't seem to get papd configured quite right. I've been following
the documents on the web
(<http://www.linuxdoc.org/LDP/lame/LAME/linux-admin-made-easy/netatalk-file-and-print.html>,
<http://www.umich.edu/~rsug/netatalk/>,
<http://thehamptons.com/anders/netatalk/>, and
<http://www.giub.unibe.ch/~eugster/appleprint.html> but I'm still
running into problems. Here is my /etc/printcap (the none-comment
lines) for reference:
lp|HP2100M:\
:sh:\
:ml=0:\
:mx=0:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
:lp=/dev/lp0:\
:lpd_bounce=true:\
:if=/usr/share/printconf/mf_wrapper:
My /etc/atalk/papd.conf:
HP-LaserJet-2100M:\
:pr=lp:op=operator:\
:pd=/etc/atalk/HPLaserJet2100.PPD:
The printer shows up in my Mac's Chooser as "HP-LaserJet-2100M", so
that seems to be working. When I print, the job gets spooled and
nothing ever comes out. Here is what is in /var/log/messages:
papd[26370]: lp_conn_unix connect /dev/printer: No such file or directory
papd[26370]: lp_print: lp_conn_unix: No such file or directory
papd[26340]: child 26370 done
(at this point, I made a symlink from /dev/printer to /dev/lp0 and tried again)
papd[26340]: child 26387 for "HP-LaserJet-2100M" from 65280.128
papd[26387]: lp_conn_unix connect /dev/printer: Connection refused
papd[26387]: lp_print: lp_conn_unix: Connection refused
papd[26340]: child 26387 done
I'm pretty much scratching my head over this, so any help would be appreciated.
