Hi,

ATPS hides a printer by sending it a postscript operator which changes the NBP
type of the printer from "LaserWriter" to "LaserShared."  This is 
why the printer subsequently does not appear in the chooser. Your
chooser's LaserWriter driver is "looking" for printers with NBP 
type LaserWriter.  

While it is possible that the printer's support for this operator is "flakey,"
it is not likely that this operator would affect the printer's postscript inter-
preter.  What error messages are you getting?  You may want to install the 
patch which solves our problem with the 7.01 and 7.1.1 LaserWriter driver.  This
may be the solution you need.  The file is ATPS2.ZIP and is located on NETWIRE
under NOVLIB 8.

However, if this doesn't solve the problem, just
mail back the exact type of printer in question, the exact error messages and
the application from which you tried to print.

Let me know what happens...

Think Peace...
