<p>Netatalk is used to communicate from TCP/IP to AppleTalk
printers and vice versa. The Netatalk distribution FAQ is at:
<a href="http://www.umich.edu/~rsug/netatalk" target=
"_top">http://www.umich.edu/~rsug/netatalk</a>. Also, The
University of Melbourne web site <a href=
"http://www.cs.mu.oz.au/appletalk/" target=
"_top">http://www.cs.mu.oz.au/appletalk/</a> has additional
tutorial and installation information. In addition, Anders
Brownworth's Web page <a href=
"http://thehamptons.com/anders/netatalk/" target=
"_top">http://thehamptons.com/anders/netatalk/</a> has a
useful collection of information for Linux users.</p>
<p>The University of Michigan doesn't seem to be doing
anything more for <b class="APPLICATION">netatalk</b>, and
Adrian Sun has continued development. You'll find his updates
at <a href="ftp://ftp.cobaltnet.com/pub/users/asun/testing/"
target=
"_top">ftp://ftp.cobaltnet.com/pub/users/asun/testing/</a> He
has improved <b class="APPLICATION">netatalk</b> considerably
over the last UMich version. Documentation on <b class=
"APPLICATION">netatalk</b> is, unfortunately, almost
non-existent.</p>
<p>There are a couple of very active mail lists for Netatalk:
<a href="mailto:netatalk-admins@umich.edu" target=
"_top">netatalk-admins@umich.edu</a> and <a href=
"mailto:linux-atalk@netspace.org" target=
"_top">linux-atalk@netspace.org</a>.</p>
<p>After you have installed and gotten <b class=
"APPLICATION">netatalk</b> working you can use the following
AppleTalk configuration file to print from a Macintosh to an
<b class="APPLICATION">LPRng</b> printer.</p>
