documentation error regarding netatalk #38

Closed michaelrsweet closed 21 years ago

Version: 1.1.19rc2 CUPS.org User: thomas.kaiser.phg-online

In the chapter titled "NetATalk" the syntax for papd.conf entries is wrong. It should not read

Printer Description:MyPrinter@MyServer:\

but

Printer Name@Zone Name:\

AppleTalk entities are built up of three elements:

Device Name:Device Type@Zone Name

In papd.conf one only needs to specify "Device Name" and in case the spooler should be registered in another than the standard zone, the appropriate zone name. The "Device Type" will be substituted with "LaserWriter" and a missing zone argument with the "*" (means standard zone).

So

My CUPS printer:\

will lead to a NBP (Name Binding Protocol) name

My CUPS printer:LaserWriter@*

and

My CUPS printer@First Floor:\

to

My CUPS printer:LaserWriter@First Floor

If you need more details on papd.conf syntax have a look at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=netatalk

This will be fixed shortly in CVS per your recommendations.

Thanks!
