Thanks. In the meantime, I had started to play around with
CUPS, which I got working for my local USB printer pretty
readily, but I couldn't get to handle an AppleTalk printer.
So I gave apsfilter a try, and having problems here too--
I managed to nuke my CUPS setup, and printing a test page
died with "nbp_lookup: Protocol not supported", even though
netatalk is installed on the system.

So I'm giving up now and will try again in the morning.
