at_cho_prn(8)

NAME
at_cho_prn - allows you to choose a default printer on the AppleTalk internet

SYNOPSIS
at_cho_prn [type[@zone]]

ARGUMENTS

type[@zone]
    Specifies the type of printer to be used, and the area (zone) in which it resides. If you don't use the type argument on the command line, at_cho_prn displays all entities of the types LaserWriter and ImageWriter. The system prompts you to select a printer by entering the appropriate number from the printer list display. If you don't enter the zone part of the argument on the command line, at_cho_prn lists all the zones in the internet and prompts you to choose the zone in which you'd like to select your default printer.

DESCRIPTION
The at_cho_prn command displays a list of printer selections and saves the name of the printer that you select. The at_cho_prn command checks the network to determine which printers are registered on that network. After you specify the zone, at_cho_prn lists the printers (of type type) available in that zone. The at_cho_prn command must be run while the user is logged in as root.

EXAMPLES
The command
        at_cho_prn 'LaserWriter@*' produces output similar to this:
        ITEM NET-ADDR OBJECT : TYPE
          1: 56bf.af.fc AnnLW:LaserWriter
          2: 56bf.ac.cc TimLW:LaserWriter
        ITEM number (0 to make no selection)? where NET-ADDR is the AppleTalk internet address (printed in hexadecimal) of the printer's listener socket, and OBJECT:TYPE is the name of the registered printer and its type.
