hello,

i installed netatalk1.4.2b as an rpm in my Redhat6 and all things seem 
ok.

i want that i can print  from my mac to 2 HP printer connected to my ethernet 
network so i can conrol the use of number of page that every user use
in my network.

i have a print server:printserv1 that proccess all job from unix
machines.

now i installed netatalk in another linux :printserv2 .in this machine 
i run papd and lpd, and i want that macs send job to it, and this
machine send job to printerv1.

when i try to print from mac, it shows :  print spooler processing job 

and that's all, it does't print anythings.

my papd.conf:

lj1_Mac:\
        :pr=lp:\
        :pd=/usr/lib/atalk/ppd/Hp4000_4.ppd:\
        :op=$user:

lj2_Mac:\
        :pr=|lpr -Plj3:\
        :pd=/usr/lib/atalk/ppd/Hp4000_4.ppd:\
        :                                      
and my printcap:

lp|lj1:\
        :sd=/usr/spool/lj1:\
        :rm=printserv1:\
        :rp=lj1:\
        :lp=lj1:\
        :if=/usr/lib/atalk/filters/ifpap:\
        :of=/usr/lib/atalk/filters/ofpap:\
        :lf=/var/log/lj1:\
        :mx#:sh:sf:
lj3|impa217|Laserjet_HP_4M_A217_(lj2)|lj2_LOOO:\
        :rm=printserv1:\
        :rp=lj3:\
        :sd=/var/spool/lj3:\
        :lp=:\
        :if=/usr/lib/atalk/filters/ifpap:\
        :of=/usr/lib/atalk/filters/ofpap:\
        :lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:                   

any help can be appreciated.
