Got my first print to my Netatalk -> CUPS -> PDF setup. We hung it on the fridge.

That was a step I never could get working. Something about netatalk talking one charset and CUPS only listening in another? But that was many years ago and I'm glad it got sorted out.

This covers the front panel of your smart fridge, so you do not see the ads it plays and also the camera does not see any fat on your face or on your body and therefore locks the door ...

So you print from an old Mac to a Linux server?

@till @smallsco Yeah, Netatalk lets you advertise printers in CUPS via AppleTalk, so I set up a CUPS PDF.

With #MARCHintosh we connect all of our vintage Macs across the internet, so you can then print from one vintage Mac to another over the internet.
