no AppleTalk?

[Pete Gontier]

My only printer speaks only AppleTalk. The hardware works fine. The goal is
to avoid buying another. I've avoided that for longer than some people on
this list have been alive. Why stop the tradition now?

If Ubuntu's kernel doesn't have DDP, then I should give up. Can anyone
confirm or deny this? Might the server kernel have DDP compiled in?
