Configuring AppleTalk Printer in YDL 2.2

[Cynthia Croy]

Go to the LinuxPPC user mailing list archive and search for AppleTalk 
printer. I searched last night for information on printing, and I found 
a posting about that. I tried it, and the printcap file has the correct 
/dev in it now. It doesn't work yet - I get a message in Kword when 
trying to print "Get_local_host: hostname 'localhost'  bad" but it got 
me a step closer than I was before. I'm guessing this has something to 
do with another message I get as X starts about being unable to lookup 
localhost's internet address, and this will prevent Gnome from operating 
correctly. If you don't get this message, you'll probably get farther 
than I did.
