I have successfully installed ru-cap2.0 and tested it a little bit for apple-
unix file sharing using aufs. Now a problem has arisen when I try to use papif
from the ru-cap distribution for printing from our suns to the apple-talk
based laserwriters.

I have a symlink for ps1 and ps2 (2 laserwriters on appletalk on our subnet)
to papif. I have also done "mknod" for these 2 printers to create separate
devices so that people can simultaneously print to them. My cap.printers look
like the following:

ps1=Lower Jet Writer~:LaserWriter@RCS
ps2=Upper Jet Writer~:LaserWriter@RCS

My atalk.local file is below:

# Native EtherTalk using Experimental CAP
enet-le0 RCS

Where RCS is our AppleTalk zone...

When I try to print something (text or ps file), it just sits in the print
spool. "lpc stop, restart and start the printer" doesn't help either.

Am I missing something very basic here? It's real urgent since people here
want both Aufs service and printing from their suns and I have to keep 
switching between Columbia CAP (which we have been using so far for printing
from suns) and ru-cap2.

Thanks,
Sandeep.

p.s: I am running SunOS 4.1 and my print device is SS-1.
