OK. So I'm terminally slow. I've been able figure out how to do many things in Linux, but "papd" has me basically stumped.
In my /etc/netatalk directory, I have an atalkd.conf file and a papd.conf file, but I do not have a netatalk.conf file. Do I need a netatalk.conf file if my goal is simply to have my Linux box pretend to be a LaserWriter? Note I already have file sharing working (even without a netatlk.conf file), so I believe the contents of my atalkd.conf file are good. I've tried a couple of different things in papd.conf, but none seem to have any discernable effect.
The printer I would like my Linux box to share as an LaserWriter is described in this file:
/etc/cups/ppd/DCP9040CN.ppd
the printer is located at this URI on my LAN:
lpd://192.168.1.213
I am hoping someone can help me identify the bare minimum number of lines to add (presumably to my /etc/netatalk/papd.conf file) to accomplish the sharing of the printer via AppleTalk.
Is there a way on Linux to see a list of printers being shared via AppleTalk? I can see my printer in the Printer configuration window, and adjust Settings, Policies, Access Control, Printer Options, and Job Options. The Printer configuration window does not seem to know anything about AppleTalk, however.
What I do know is that on my PowerBook 230 Duo I see "quad" in Chooser only as a file server and not as any kind of printer. My guess is that I am not properly sharing my printer via AppleTalk.
