    Works with no hassle as generic Postscript parallel
    printer.&lt;p&gt;

    Works slightly faster over ethernet, but requires an AAUI to
    10baseT adaptor on the printer, and the netatalk package
    installed.&lt;p&gt;

    To use as an Appletalk printer under LPRng (RedHat 7.x), configure
    with printtool as a local printer attached to /dev/null, then edit
    $spooldir/general.cfg and change PRINTER_TYPE=ATALK, and create a
    file in the spooldir called ".paprc" containing the Appletalk name
    of the printer (the default is "Laserwriter"). Contrary to the
    netatalk HOWTO, comments in this file will screw things up
    (because of dumb code in LPRng&apos;s master filter).&lt;p&gt;

    With CUPS (RedHat 9), install David Mathog&apos;s pap backend
    driver
    (http://saf.bio.caltech.edu/pub/software/linux_or_unix_tools/pap)
    into /usr/lib/cups/backend.  Change the paths to pap and psf to
    "/usr/bin/pap" and "/usr/sbin/psf" respectively (not
    /usr/local/(s)bin), and chmod 755 it.  Then use CUPS&apos;s
    web-based config.  Or use RedHat printconf to create a local
    printer on /dev/null, then edit the DeviceURI in
    /etc/cups/printers.conf to read "pap://Laserwriter".  If you have
    several Laserwiters, read the real instructions for the pap
    backend at &lt;a
    href="http://saf.bio.caltech.edu/pub/software/linux_or_unix_tools/pap_backend_with_cups.txt"&gt;http://saf.bio.caltech.edu/pub/software/linux_or_unix_tools/pap_backend_with_cups.txt&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;

    Changing the AppleTalk name, setting resolution (300dpi or 600pdi)
    and enable/disabling test-page-at-power-up needs a Mac (or in my
    case, an Amiga with ShapeShifter - maybe MOL works, or
    UAE+Shapeshifter, but I don&apos;t know if they support device-level
    access to the network card) and Apple&apos;s printer control software
    (available from ftp.apple.com).&lt;p&gt;
