We've just switched from IPtalk via a kbox to native ethertalk (phase 2) on
a SUN3 (4.0.3) and a SPARCstation-2 (4.1.1), and now laserwriter access is 
broken on both machines.  In lpd-errs, we get the following message

	Jan 11 09:14:39 red lpd[3238]: restarting lw132
	Jan 11 09:15:29 red last message repeated 59 times


Here's the printcap entry, cap.printers entry, and the shell script to
invoke papif (these worked when we were using IPtalk):

	(printcap)
	lw132:\
         	:lp=/dev/lw132:\
         	:sd=/var/spool/lw132:\
         	:sf:\
         	:lf=/var/adm/lw-log:\
         	:if=/usr/local/lib/cap/lw132:\
         	:of=/usr/local/lib/cap/papof:

	(cap.printers)
	lw132=132 PLW:LaserWriter@CoSc Labs

	(lw132 shell script)
	#!/bin/sh
	BANNERLAST=0
	BANNERFIRST=0
	DOACCT=0
	export BANNERLAST BANNERFIRST DOACCT
	/usr/local/lib/cap/papif -P lw132 $*

Aufs, atlook, etc all work fine, and we can print a postscript file to lw132
using lwpr.  Under ethertalk, the machines are in a different zone than
they were when running IPtalk.  etcdest and all other dests were all set to
/usr/local/lib/cap.

I've RTFM all weekend, and I'm completely stymied.  I haven't been following
threads about printer probs, so I don't know if this is a common prob or not.
Could someone in the know please enlighten me?  Any suggestions would be
very much appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

	What is the protection of /dev/nit in your SUNs?
	I had to "chmod 660 /dev/nit", "chgrp staff papif" and "chmod g+s papif" (set
gid bit
to staff). Then it all worked!
	Hope this helps!
