    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 &quot;.paprc&quot; containing the Appletalk name
    of the printer (the default is &quot;Laserwriter&quot;). Contrary to the
    netatalk HOWTO, comments in this file will screw things up
    (because of dumb code in LPRng's master filter).&lt;p&gt;

    With CUPS (RedHat 9), install David Mathog'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
    &quot;/usr/bin/pap&quot; and &quot;/usr/sbin/psf&quot; respectively (not
    /usr/local/(s)bin), and chmod 755 it.  Then use CUPS'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 &quot;pap://Laserwriter&quot;.  If you have
    several Laserwiters, read the real instructions for the pap
    backend at &lt;a
    href=&quot;http://saf.bio.caltech.edu/pub/software/linux_or_unix_tools/pap_backend_with_cups.txt&quot;&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't know if they support device-level
    access to the network card) and Apple's printer control software
    (available from ftp.apple.com).&lt;p&gt;

    Thanks to Duncan Gibb (linuxprinting at duncangibb dot com) for
    these comments.&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
