papd.conf(5)

NAME
papd.conf - Configuration file used by papd(8) to determine the configuration of printers used by the Netatalk printing daemon

DESCRIPTION
/etc/netatalk/papd.conf is the configuration file used by papd to configure the printing services offered by netatalk. Please note that papd must be enabled in /etc/netatalk/netatalk.conf for this to take any effect. papd shares the same defaults as lpd on many systems, but not Solaris. Any line not prefixed with # is interpreted. The configuration lines are composed like:

    printername:[options]

The simplest case is to have either no papd.conf, or to have one that has no active lines. In this case, atalkd should auto-discover the local printers on the machine. Please note that you can split lines by using \. printername may be just a name (Printer 1), or it may be a full name in nbp_name format (Printer 1:LaserWriter@My Zone). If more than 15 printers are defined, you should explicitly define the zone for each printer. Otherwise, the Mac Chooser not show all the printers. The possible options are colon delimited (:), and lines must be terminated with colons. The possible options and flags are:

am=(uams list)
    The am option allows specific UAMs to be specified for a particular printer. It has no effect if the au flag is not present or if papd authentication was not built into netatalk.

au  If present, this flag enables authentication for the printer. Please note that papd authentication must be built into netatalk for this to take effect.

op=(operator)
    This specifies the operator name, for lpd spooling.

pa=(appletalk address)
    Allows specification of Appletalk addresses. Usually not needed.

pd=(path to ppd file)
    Specifies a particular PPD (printer description file) to associate with the selected printer.

pr=(lpd printer name)
    Sets the lpd printer that this is spooled to.
