pap v1.00
-----------------------

################################################################
#
# Welcome to the CUPS PAP backend. A colleague downloaded a 
#  Shell script off the net that was supposed to do all of 
#  this, and it didn't work very well...
#  At all, actually. So I decided to whip up my own in Perl.
#  This is that script. I have done some optimization based on
#  the CUPS "Writing Backends" document as provided w/ version
#  1.1.17.
#
# It works with CUPS 1.1.17 or newer,
#  possibly older, I don't know - as well as any modern 
#  (1.4b2+) version of Netatalk upto and probably surpassing
#  the 1.6.0 release.
#
# This software is to be considered public domain. Do with it as
#  you will.

# INSTALLATION (by the aforementioned "colleague")
#
# Requirements: Perl and netatalk.  If you don't know what
#  those are, I think you're in over you're head...
#
# Save this script as /usr/lib/cups/backend/papbackend
#  (....or wherever you have the other backends if you 
#  aren't running a stock install of CUPS). Make sure it is
#  executable!
# Then, make sure the entry for the AppleTalk printer in 
#  /etc/cups/printers.conf is declared with a URI thus:
#
#   DeviceURI papbackend://"Printer Name"@"Some Zone"
#
# THE QUOTES ARE IMPORTANT AND NECESSARY if you have spaces
#  in your Printer Name or your Zone Name.  If you have no
#  zones on your network, then "Printer Name"@* should work.
#
# *NOTE: The URI can also be declared in the CUPS web interface
#  and will get properly entered in printers.conf if you do it
#  that way.  But it gets mangled when viewing printer 
#  properties via the web interface.  This is OK, though I 
#  don't know why CUPS does this!  As long as it's OK in 
#  printers.conf, that's all that matters.

#
#  Rewrote "zero argument" print statement to support device
#  discovery mode, the way CUPS sees what backends are
#  available and understands how to present the URI when
#  adding a printer.  May help with display bugs (not likely)
#  This works as of CUPS 1.1.19.
