Fedora 25 netatalk1/1/2023 ![]() Not sure whether there was something wrong on my side or with the installation script. Also, a new installation of a2server (which has been updated from v1.5 to v1.5.1 in the meantime) would result in a broken netatalk. ![]() Fedora 25 netatalk manual#Then I installed CUPS 1.7.5, the latest version my updated Jessie is capable of and reverted the manual amendmends to /etc/cups/nf I had previously done as a quick fix.Īnd the thing runs and prints without a problem, also from my iPhone …ĭuring all the trial and error I found out that my guide on installing the AppleTalk NAS is quite outdated by now. Eventually I succeeded by uninstalling the old CUPS-version, holding the system kernel to prevent updates on it (else I would loose AppleTalk in the kernel), installing the most recent Debian Jessie updates for everthing else, downloading the source for CUPS Filters 1.0.61 (which the fix can easily be applied on), patching /filter/pdftops.c with Till Kamppeter's fix from v1.21.6, compiling and installing it. So I duplicated the SD card of my AppleTalk NAS and looked for a way to test the patch. The version of CUPS it was capable of wasn't compatible with a recent enough pdftops.c to be patched with Till Kamppeter's fix. The Debian version on Ivan's image was too old. It should be fixed by now, but the only system with an AppleTalk kernel I have is my live NAS. Mabam wrote:Till Kamppeter was really quick in following up the bug I've filed.

When I wrote the guide I didn't know this issue is specific to just a few printers as I only had my 4/600 PS for testing. These should be the only ones that need the combination of AppleTalk and the workaround as described above if a Linux based CUPS server is supposed to do the PostScript rendering – which it needs to do the PPD/driver handling for. I haven't finished the guide yet, but most of it is ready.Īdespoton wrote:Wow! Thanks! I really need to see if I can get this set up on one of my PPC Minis now that the printing issue has been figured out and AirPrint is supported.Īctually, the printing issue was specific to certain old PostScript printers of which – to my knowledge – the LaserWriter 4/600 PS and the Personal LaserWriter 320 were the only ones that didn't have any other port but LocalTalk. Including compilation of a system with kernel AppleTalk (and the VM as build environment needed for that), installing/configuring Samba, CUPS, the PAP backend, etc. ![]() I begun writing a detailed guide on how to set everything up. See his thread on how to compile a kernel for a C.H.I.P. In mactjaap's and my case, we had to take care of that ourselves. ![]() If you work with a VM and do it the way described on the A2SERVER website, A2SERVER will take care of it (it also does when using a Raspberry Pi). In all three cases the key thing is having AppleTalk compiled into the kernel or as kernel module.
