-In order to print to an AppleTalk printer from a modern network, we install a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AppleTalk#Printer_Access_Protocol|PAP]] backend and have [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUPS|CUPS]] share the printer.((If you want to do it the other way around -- share a non-AppleTalk printer to a classic Macintosh computer or emulator, see https://www.reddit.com/r/VintageApple/comments/63xrvc/how_i_got_my_se30_to_print_to_a_cheapo_laser/ (thanks to [[http://emaculation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=56371#p56371|adespoton]]).)) This guide describes how to do that for a PostScript printer.

 Change to your home folder and download the archive containing the PAP backend((There are at least three other PAP backends available on the net (Duncan Gibb [based on Rupi]: [[ftp://saf.bio.caltech.edu/pub/software/linux_or_unix_tools/pap|download]] · [[http://saf.bio.caltech.edu/pub/software/linux_or_unix_tools/pap_backend_with_cups.txt|instructions]] · [[http://www.openprinting.org/printer/Apple/Apple-LaserWriter_Pro_630|info]] · [[http://web.archive.org/web/20030814084608/http://vt.oeh.uni-linz.ac.at:80/~rupi/pap/|Rupi's original]] [info] · [[ftp://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/Mandriva/official/9.1/SRPMS/cups-1.1.19-0.5mdk.src.rpm|archive with Rupi's backend and docu]] [next to other stuff] | Derrik Pates: [[https://sourceforge.net/p/netatalk/mailman/attachment/1057229915.3f040c5b6eb9a%40www.dsdk12.net/1/|download]] · [[https://sourceforge.net/p/netatalk/mailman/message/12429430/|description]] · [[http://www.philippwesche.org/200811/doc/apple_talk_print.html|setup 1]] · [[http://www.topoftheworld.org/linux/laserwriterIIg_cups.htm|setup 2]] | SRZ Berlin: [[http://web.archive.org/web/20050514184744/http://www.srz.de/Members/bla/cups/backend/pap/|download and description]]), but the one from Thomas Kaiser is the most advanced and automated one.
