Then you should be fine. Try the same version of GS, configured about the
same (different only in Linux vs NetBSD variations, which would only
be in the printer queues, I think). It should work with the 1.4b2 beta
on toccata.fugue.com/pub/netbsd-atalk/beta2_some_date_I've_forgotten.

The default 1.4b2 lacks the NetBSD patches (which should be in the
full 1.4 when it gets out).

options NETATALK

:-)

Take care,
