Hello all!

We have a problem with Appletalk printers under RH 6.0 and
netatalk-1.4b2+asun2.1.3-6
the spoolers appears well at the chooser but when a job is submited it's
stays forever at the
Linux spooler, the syslog only reports:

....
Oct 11 11:22:03 macsrv papd[28958]: child 28979 for "QMS Spooler
MuppTest" from 65280.210
Oct 11 11:22:06 macsrv papd[28958]: child 28979 done
Oct 11 11:22:57 macsrv papd[28958]: child 28980 for "QMS Spooler
MuppTest" from 65280.210
Oct 11 11:22:58 macsrv lpd[28981]: macsrv.ctyd.com.mx requests printjob
qmstest
Oct 11 11:22:58 macsrv papd[28980]: lp_print queued
Oct 11 11:22:58 macsrv papd[28958]: child 28980 done
.....
#ls -l  /var/spool/lpd/qmstest
drwxr-xr-x   2 root     lp           1024 Oct 11 11:22 ./
drwxrwxr-x   5 root     daemon       1024 Sep 30 10:19 ../
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root           23 Oct 11 11:17 .paprc
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root        12573 Sep 30 10:26 .ppd
-rw-r--r--   1 root     lp              4 Oct 11 11:22 .seq
-rw-r-----   1 root     root          225 Oct 11 11:22

-rw-r-----   1 root     root        16767 Oct 11 11:22
dfA016macsrv.ctyd.com.mx
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root           30 Oct 11 11:22 lock
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root           30 Oct 11 11:22 status

If the job is printed directly with pap command line the printer works
fine.

#cat /etc/printcap:
qmstest:QMS-410 PS\:LaserWriter@*:\
        :sd=/var/spool/lpd/qmstest:\
        :mx#0:\
        :pl#63:pw#85:\
        :sh:sf:\
        :lp=/dev/null:\
        :lf=/var/log/apple_spool_err:\
        :of=/usr/local/atalk/ofpap:

#cat /etc/atalk/papd.conf
QMS Spooler:QMS-410 PS\:LaserWriter@*:\
        :pr=qmstest:op=lp:\
        :pd=/usr/local/ppds/QMS.PPD:

#nbplkup :LaserWriter
                     QMS Spooler:LaserWriter
65280.247:128
                     QMS-PS 410:LaserWriter
5.168:128

# cat /var/spool/lpd/qmstest/.paprc
QMS-PS 410:LaserWriter

#cat /var/log/apple_spool_err
#

Any ideas? All help is really appreciated.

Thanks and Best Regards,
