My university has several Macs attached through the AppleTalk Network
to several printers, one of which is a LaerWriter Plus.  A problem has
arisen in that everyone is using the LaserWriter for everything including
draft copies.  I read recently on the net that there was a way to burn a
password into the LaserWriter EEPROM so that not everyone could use it.
How is this done?  How do you enter the password after it is burned in
so that you can use the LaserWriter.  Also, is there a way to change Chooser
to include a password that must be entered before a new printer can be
selected?

Thanx in advance.
