In order to make a LaserWriter invisible to the Macintosh drivers, I need
to change its NBP type to anything else than LaserWriter.

The "setprintername" description in Red Book mentions in a footnote that
the special characters `:' and `@' are used to create full NBP names.

Does this mean that:

(i)  saying	 (MyPrinter:OddType) setprintername
     would set both the name and the type?

(ii) would that command leave the zone field unchanged?

Thanks for any help,

Michael
