SuSE-INTERN:

Symptom:

Although you've set the configuration files for the package netatalk correctly you receive an invalid Spool-file warning.

Cause:

The papd is writing the printer data with incorrect permissions in /var/spool/lpd. This has the result that the data cannot be changed by the lpd (Line Printer Daemon).

Solution:

Set the group for /usr/sbin/papd to lp and activate the SGID-Bit, afterwards restart the papd:
su - -c "chgrp lp /usr/sbin/papd && chmod g+s /usr/sbin/papd && /sbin/killproc -TERM /usr/sbin/papd && startproc /usr/sbin/papd"
