Hi there, On 8 May, this message from Andrei Verovski echoed through cyberspace: > I have several print queues on Linux (with LPR old), working OK with > Samba. However, when I try to print from Mac with LaserWiter TCP/IP, I've > got error 8827.
I tried this some time ago, but found that Apple's LPR implementation is crap, so I forgot about it. Linux is better at implementing closed standards than Apple at implementing open ones ;-), so I use a netatalk server to serve printing to Macs. > Printcap entry is below, but LaserWiter TCP/IP printing does not work no > matter which queue name I enter in Desktop Printer Utlity (Phaser740L, > lp1, tek_phaser740_queue). tek_phaser740_host is actually IP address of > printer iteself.

Stop your lpd daemon from printing (but keep spooling active), then have a look at the two files created in the spool for the print job. IIRC, there was a problem with the file names in the control file. I ended up looking through the relevant RFCs, since lpd has close to no logging whatsoever, so it's hard to get at an error message. Anyway, should you go for netatalk, I had to solve an access rights problem to make netatalk spool to lpd. I ended up using TCP to get the jobs to lpd, instead of netatalk simply writing them into the spool.
