Subject: [netatalk-admins] papd, nbp and protected queues...

I am running papd(1.3.3) from Sun0S 4.1.x and can create print queues just
fine using papd, lpd, and pap with ps filters (ifwmrev, ofpap, etc). All
works well. So now I want to tell my laserwriters (16/600) to not
advertise theirselves over nbp and only talk using ethertalk to my pap
server. I have a ps file which I can send to the printer to tell it to
advertise itself as Lazerwriter not Laserwriter which will make it
invisible to a "standard" chooser. This would work (because I could tell
.paprc to talk to "My printer:LazerWriter@My Zone" but this change will not
survive a reboot of the printer.
With Apple Print Spooler and Netware APCon a "daemon" process listens to
nbp broadcast and if it sees a printer which it is spooling for the
"daemon" process tells the printer to stop advertising. I could not see a
functional equiv. in netatalk. Did I miss something or does anyone know
how to assign a permanent AppleTalk node number to a Laserwriter and have
it talk only to the pap server (like a host access list)? Thanks in
advance.
