How to Compile a Netatalk With SSL 2.0.5
Netatalk is a free and open source print server that is compatible with the AppleTalk protocol. This means that you can create a print server for Macintosh environments on an older or inexpensive piece of hardware running a Linux or other UNIX-like operating system. Netatalk supports environments of mixed MacOS and OS X clients, allowing older Mac hardware to print alongside newer.
