In level 2, the network PAP type of a device is specified as part of the
"devparams" dictionary.  The following code should do the trick:

%!PS-Adobe
true () startjob pop
(%LocalTalk%) <</LocalTalkType (InsertYourFavoriteTypeHere) >> setdevparams
false () startjob pop
%%End-of-File

It used to be that you could use (%LocalTalk_NV%) to set this as a
non-volatile (battery-ram) value, but it would appear that storing this
parameter in NVRAM is device && || version specific.  Your mileage may vary.
