With the new version of PostScript in LaserWriter IINTR, IIg, IIf, Personal
LaserWriter NT the code I used to change the Name Binding Type (NBP) in the
PRAM (or EEROM) of the laserwriter does not work.  I have been able to
change the type, until you power cycle the laserwriter.

It appears the NBP type is nolonger stored in EEROM, can anyone confirm
this or supply the correct postscript code to change the NBP type and store
it in EEROM.
