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  selec-
       tions  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.
