First I *have* applied the patch from bin/14247 to support the 'o' 
option used by OSX.  This is a different problem.

I create a desktop printer under OS9 with the desktop printer 
utility;  tell it that it's an lpr printer with queue RAW at the 
right IP address.  I've done this with HP JetDirect interfaces and it 
works.  I've done this with Solaris 2.5 and it doesn't because it 
doesn't know it's a Postscript file instead of a text file, but it's 
OK otherwise.

In this case the Mac opens the connection, sends 6 bytes of data and 
the NetBSD server closes the connection.  No print job log, no 
nothing.

How do I debug this?  The -d option on lpd?  Is there some way to 
make tcpdump actually show the packet contents and not just the 
decoded headers?

I do have printing working BTW.  The netatalk package has improved 
enormously since I last used it 3 years ago under Solaris.  (Or maybe 
that's because I'm using NetBSD instead of Solaris?)  I still don't 
know how to get it started automatically since the package doesn't 
seem to document that.  I expect I can find the intended mechanism 
eventually, or just fake it.
