hi folks,

we have a large mac network in this building (a zone for each
floor). there is a color LaserWriter upstairs that i would like to
print to but i can't figure out how to specify the zone.

if i just want to see LaserWriters in the zone i'm currently in, i can
do this and it works as expected.

==============================================================================
1:35pm zinc-> nbplkup ":LaserWriter"
         HP LaserJet 4Si:LaserWriter 58624.131:157
              6110 hp4mp:LaserWriter 58624.129:157
Bass Lab HP LaserJet 4Si:LaserWriter 58624.130:156
               6200_hp5m:LaserWriter 58624.136:157
              5145 lwntx:LaserWriter 58624.102:138
       LaserWriter II NTX:LaserWriter 58624.83:233
                  np1600:LaserWriter 58624.183:130
              HP CopyJet:LaserWriter 58624.132:158
          5145phaser200e:LaserWriter 58624.103:128
            5200 hp4simx:LaserWriter 58624.145:157
               5440_hp5m:LaserWriter 58624.134:157
              LaserJet 5:LaserWriter 58624.139:157

==============================================================================
my machine is in the zone "Genetics Sixth Floor". the printer i would
like to use is in "Genetics Seventh Floor".

i have tried to specify the zone in these ways. no error is returned,
but neither is any other information:

nbplkup "Genetics Sixth Floor"
nbplkup ":Genetics Sixth Floor"
nbplkup ":LaserWriter:Genetics Sixth Floor"

so, how do i do this?
