	I have a LaserWriter IIg and a LaserWriter NTR that I wish to hide
from direct access by Macintoshes by changing the LocalTalkType to
something other than LaserWriter (ie LW Spooler). The following script works,
but the printer reverts after a reset (ie power cycle).

true 0 startjob (%LocalTalk%) <</LocalTalkType (LW Spooler)>> setdevparams

Various permutations of %LocalTalk% like %LocalTalk_NV% will still fail
across resets. Is there an incantation that works?
