I'm having trouble hiding a Personal LaserWriter NTR.  When it's hidden via
Novell's Appletalk Printing Services, all is dandy - its NBP type is changed
from LaserWriter to LaserShared.  However, when I try doing this via lwpr in
CAP using what I *think* is the same PostScript used by NetWare (as I found it
among the Netware ATPS stuff), the type does not get changed; instead, the
word LaserShared gets appended to the original name ('Personal LaserWriter
NTR' becomes 'Personal LaserWriter NTRLaserShared' after i dump the PostScript
to the LW and the LW continues advertising itself as NBP type LaserWriter).

I should mention that the same PostScript works just fine on a LaserWriter
Plus and LaserWriter NT.  SInce our LaserWriters are hidden via NetWare, I use
cron jobs that check periodically if they are indeed still hidden and dunp
this PostScript to them if they are found not to be (becasue they've been
powered-cycled, for example).

This is the PostScript file I dump with lwpr:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
%!PS-Adobe-

%  HIDE.PS						11/27/91

%	change the LaserWriter's persistent NBP type to "LaserShared"

	name printername (:LaserShared)
	dup type 2 index type 2 copy ne {
		pop pop
		errordict begin (concatenate) typecheck end

		} if
	} ifelse
	dup length 2 index length add 1 index type
	/arraytype eq{array}{string}ifelse
	dup 0 4 index putinterval
	dup 4 -1 roll length 4 -1 roll putinterval
	setprintername
end
%%EOF

Anyone have any ideas on how to get around NTR's misbehavior?

Thanks for any help!
