I've got my AppleTalk/netatalk/zeroconf LAN setup working for file
sharing - with netatalk and task-howl on the Linux box.

Well, by burying myself in the CUPS tomes, I made some changes to
cupsd.conf network options (HostNameLookups, Browsing,
BrowseProtocals, BrowseAddress and Allow) on the Linux side and I now
see my Linux printer in my Mac CUPS Administration and in print dialog
on my Mac. i.e. I don't have to define the printer again on the Mac
side - duh.
Great :-) but I can't actually print to it :-()
The issue is something that I wondered about (and commented on) early
on. On my Mac I see the printer [EMAIL PROTECTED] but my Mac can't
actually print to it because my Mac (via my router) can't resolve the
hostname "debian1."
When I first put up Debian on the P4, I noticed that where my Mac sets a
hostname with its local address on my Belkin router, the Linux box
leaves the hostname blank on my Belkin router. My router does have the
Linux box represented as an address (192.168.2.48), but no hostname.
When the printer was attached to my Mac I could print to it from my
Linux box it because the Mac hostname (pmacg5) could be resolved by the
router, but now that the printer is attached to my Linux box (and
working there) I can't print to it from my Mac because it can't resolve
the Linux box hostname (debian1) :-(((( I had a strong feeling this
hostname issue would come back to bite me %-\
So, whats to do? Preferably I'd really appreciate some help in getting
Debian to post its hostname on the router like my Mac does. If that
can't be done at the moment, then I would appreciate some help in
getting my Mac to resolve the Linux box hostname to an address
(192.168.2.48).
Sorry to be such a bother, but all my research has brought me back to
the one issue I could not find an answer for when first installing
Debian on my P4.
Thank you for your patience,
