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

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?
