      AppleTalk Printers</a></h1>

      <p>The <a href="appletalk.htm">netatalk</a> package comes
      with the <b class="APPLICATION">pap</b> program that can be
      used to transfer jobs using the AppleTalk protocol. A
      printcap entry for a network printer looks like the
      following:</p>

      <div class="INFORMALEXAMPLE">
        <a name="AEN5257"></a>
<pre class="SCREEN">
    atalk:
      :lp=| -$ /usr/local/atalk/bin/pap -e -p "npbname"
      :sd=/var/spool/lpd/atalk
      :ifhp=model=ps,status@
      :filter=/usr/local/libexec/filters/ifhp
</pre>
      </div>
      <br>
      <br>

      <p>The <var class="LITERAL">-$</var> suppress the addition of
      extra parameters to the <b class="APPLICATION">pap</b>
      command line. The <b class="APPLICATION">pap</b> program must
      be SETUID root and executable only by root or group <var
      class="LITERAL">daemon</var>. This can be done by using the
      following script:</p>

      <div class="INFORMALEXAMPLE">
        <a name="AEN5264"></a>
<pre class="SCREEN">
    <samp class="PROMPT">h4: {309}</samp> <kbd class=
