Not related to Netatalk (though I am using it too, without problems so
far), I had a problem with printing binary images out of QuarkExpress
to a brand new Lexmark M412 via lpr (lpr is a cool new ability of
MacOS 9.1).  It would print garbage instead of the intended output if
images were sent in binary form.  In the QuarkExpress print properties
I was able to send the images as either ASCII encoded or (I think)
Base64 encoded with success.  I'm not sure if Photoshop will also
offer such an option.
