.SH DESCRIPTION
-.B papd
-is the AppleTalk printer daemon. This daemon accepts print jobs from
-AppleTalk clients (typically Macintosh computers) using the Printer
-Access Protocol (PAP).
-.B papd
-spools jobs directly into an
-.BR lpd (8)
-spool directory and wakes up
-.B lpd
-after accepting a job from the network to have it re-examine the
-appropriate spool directory. The actual printing and spooling is
-handled entirely by
-.B lpd.
-.B papd
-can also pipe the print job to an external program for processing, and
-this is the preferred method to avoid compatibility problems with all
-the flavors of lpd in use.
-.LP
-.B papd
-is typically started at boot time, out of system init scripts.
-It first reads from its configuration file,
-.BR :ETCDIR:/papd.conf .
-The file is in the same format as
-.BR /etc/printcap .
-See
-.BR printcap (5)
-for details. The name of the entry is registered with
-.BR NBP .
-The following options are supported:

+.SH EXAMPLES
The following papd configuration file sets up three print spoolers.
-The first spooler is known by the NBP name
-.B Mac Printer Spooler,
-and uses a PPD file located in /usr/share/lib/ppd.
-In addition, the user mcs
-will be the owner of all jobs that are spooled.
-The second spooler is known as
-.B HP Printer
-and all options are the default. The third spooler is known as
-.B HP 8100 .
-It pipes the print job to lpr for printing. PSSP authenticated printing
-is enabled, as is CAP-style authenticated printing. Both methods support
-guest and cleartext authentication as specified by the 'am' option. The
-PPD used is /etc/atalk/ppds/hp8100.ppd.

.SH NOTES
PSSP (Print Server Security Protocol) is an authentication protocol
-carried out through postscript printer queries to the print server. Using
-PSSP requires LaserWriter 8.6.1 or greater on the client mac. The user
+carried out through postscript printer queries to the print server. Using
+PSSP requires LaserWriter 8.6.1 or greater on the client mac. The user
will be prompted to enter their username and password before they print.
-It may be necessary to re-setup the printer on each client the first time
+It may be necessary to re\-setup the printer on each client the first time
PSSP is enabled, so that the client can figure out that authentication is
-required to print. You can enable PSSP on a per-printer basis. PSSP is
-the recommended method of authenticating printers as it is more robust
-that CAP-style authentication, described below.
-.LP
-CAP-style authentication gets its name from the method the CAP (Columbia
-APpletalk) package used to authenticate its mac clients' printing. This
-method requires that a user login to a file share before they print.
-.B afpd
-records the username in a temporary file named after the clients
-Appletalk address, and it deletes the temporary file when the user
-disconnects.
-.B papd
-gets the username from the file with the same Appletalk address as the
-machine connecting to it. CAP-style authentication will work with any
-mac client. If both CAP and PSSP are enabled for a particular printer, CAP
-will be tried first, then it will fall back to PSSP.
-.LP
-
-The list of UAMS to use for authentication (specified with the 'am'
-option) applies to all printers. It is not possible to define different
-authentication methods on each printer. You can specify the list of UAMS
-multiple times, but only the last setting will be used. Currently only
-uams_guest.so, uams_passwd.so, and uams_pam.so are supported as printer
-authentication methods. The guest method requires a valid username, but
-not a password. The passwd and pam methods require both a valid username
-and the correct password.
