I've installed netatalk, but it only runs via IP unless it finds some optional kernel support (DDP). 'route -A ddp' says: <div style="margin-left: 40px; font-family: courier new,monospace;">Error opening /proc/net/atalk_route: No such file or directory DDP (AppleTalk) not configured on this system. </div> That would appear to be my answer: Ubuntu's kernel lacks the optional DDP support. Let's suppose I were masochistic enough to build a custom kernel. This probably wouldn't be a very-well-tested configuration (netatalk atop DDP in Ubuntu). Can anyone attest to having a configuration like this working? <blockquote style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 40px; border: medium none; padding: 0px;"></blockquote><blockquote style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 40px; border: medium none; padding: 0px;"> <div style="text-align: left;">Pete Gontier <<a href="http://pete.gontier.org/" target="_blank">http://pete.gontier.org/</a>></div> </blockquote> <div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jul 12, 2010 at 12:58 AM, Jordon Bedwell <<a href="mailto:jordon@envygeeks.com" target="_blank">jordon@envygeeks.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 <div><div></div><div> On 7/12/2010 2:46 AM, Christopher Chan wrote: > On Monday, July 12, 2010 03:16 PM, Pete Gontier wrote: >> My only printer speaks only AppleTalk.

There is also netatalk package (AppleTalk) <a href="http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/netatalk" target="_blank">http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/netatalk</a> which is available through the Universe. I came in a little late so I haven't seen all of them, I just saw somebody mention DDP and Appletalk and implementation so I figured I would jump in and throw out some help. - -- Cheers, Jordon Bedwell <a href="http://envygeeks.com" target="_blank">http://envygeeks.com</a> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJMOssMAAoJEDgik1XAY/+LHuMH/2lB1I8ZcL5PnUkkpZmot7ns w62VGR8mL4m11QmVviwZk4sr7s867HCXlduCjGK8OAZ5EaAmjysqzam2Ffm8YelO 90Q4w08ilhq9VH+KKb1l25samu0FRrwCZGbWEQbJNkeIWL2Om3rE4Mt+M/orwedh GUQac9eisliKDYoUVAMK4lLCRirKYyJ+N3GAqquWCRv5B1U2r73O3LzPAEn+UeGf MubgVzu5dLMdGHmuJNiG6pS1VLifXQvSnqOkFZUEc96yEdeeXKfw+KsCcw6btSe5 Vvfa/NOJc/2D745rX5CKc2B8NNIxhMsZicUN+7fk50pK1hWgZM/uuyn3vukj69I= =FC1w -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- <div><div></div><div> -- ubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com" target="_blank">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users</a> </div></div></blockquote></div>
