Ok, then, let me give as much detail as might help.
Running Gentoo Linux, which I don't ~think~ is too relevant, though I
could be wrong.
The Mac is using an Airport card, which goes to a Linksys Wireless
Access Point (this might be an issue).
Gentoo is running CUPS and Samba--printing from a Windows box works
without problem.
The Mac, OS X, can connect to shares on the Linux box--sees the printer,
but sees it as a volume. :)
Part of the problem ~might~ be that I can't figure out the CUPS syntax
on a remote client, that is the Mac. I thought I had it right, in
specifying the queue, but got no result.
I then tried netatalk--after several attempts, and continuing to get the
annoying error message that Address family was not supported by the
kernel, indicating that I hadn't compiled Appletalk support, though I
had, I realized that Grub was pointing to the wrong kernel---oops. :)
However, when I try to use Appletalk, I get, upon starting the atalk
daemon, the mesasge that multicasting may not work properly--a bit of
googling indicates that this may be because of an Airport card going to
a 3rd party WAP, but that seems unlikely, as the message comes up before
anything else. I'm suspecting my Netgear card (haven't checked if it's
supposed to do multicasting or not. However, I'd actually rather do it
through LPR, that is the standard Unix print type stuff, using CUPS, if
I could figure out the syntax.
I also have hopes that OS X.2, with its improved MS integration, may
simply work by setting up the printer with samba, which would be the
nicest solution.
