Hi all,

        I've been trying to print to a unix printer from a MAC but seem
to be running into a problem.  I keep receiving this error:
May 15 07:37:45 venus papd[6484]: getppdent: line too long
May 15 07:37:45 venus papd[6484]: lp_open failed

    Does anyone have any suggestions on what might be the problem?? I've
just started to get into the Netatalk stuff this past week.  everything
else seem to be working fine.  I'm on rev. 1.4b2+asun-sol-sparc 2.6. .
Can some one help!!!

this is my papd.conf, .paprc and printcap info.:  All exists in my
netatalk-1.4b2/etc/ directory.
printcap:
