Subject: LPRng and netatalk on YDL

I've got netatalk 2.1.38 running good on YDL on a Mac G3. My printer is a HP
LJ4M. If anyone's had success doing this please tell me the magic formula.
I installed LPRng, as per recommendations on netatalk lists. Everything
seems to be set up correctly. If I print with lpr -Plp test.ps it shows up
in the queue. My HP blinks a few times -- then nothing. Guess the server
keeps trying cause a few seconds later the printer will blink twice again --
and still nothing.
So: the file spools ok, the printer is being seen, but the job isn't going
through.
Printing with pap (pap -p "LJ4" test.ps) works fine.
I also installed LPRng on a completely different, well-functioning appletalk
network, using MkLinux with a LaserWriter IIg -- with the same results.
HELP!
PS (no pun intended): Noticed a few errors. One is a postcript error showing
in lpd-errs log
Error: undefined Offending command: ^D
Also found this is messages
modprobe: canyt locate module binfmt-0000
Below are my config files:
