I am having trouble getting papif working. Papif is a program bundled with CAP that sends postsrcipt files from unix machines to laser printers on the localtalk. I have installed CAP successfully and can see the laser printer with the atlook and atlooklws programs. When I run papif (interactively for testing purposes, not using the lp spooler) it successfully opens up a connection to the laser printer and begins sending data (the light flashes on the laserwriter to indicate this). But it never prints anything and after about 5 minutes I get the following errors: %%[ Error: timeout; OffendingCommand: timeout ]%% %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%% papif: handleread: PAPRead error -3109 papif: Finished job at Tue Jul 18 09:54:39 1989 I have upped the waittimeout value in the eerom on the laserwriter to 300 seconds as suggested. I have recompiled papif for 'throttled' output and that didn't help. I always initialize the printer by first sending a mac postscript document. The printer is a LaserWriter IINT and we are using LaserPrep 5.2. Does anyone know what my problem might be? Thanks.
