at_cho_prn(1)                                       at_cho_prn(1)



     NAME
          at_cho_prn - choose a default printer on the AppleTalk(Reg.)
          internet

     SYNOPSIS
          at_cho_prn [type[@zone]]

     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.  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.

          After you specify the zone, at_cho_prn lists the printers
          (of type type) available in that zone.  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 sys-
          tem prompts you to select a printer by entering the ap-
          propriate number from the printer list display.

     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)?


          NET-ADDR is the AppleTalk internet address of the printer's
          listener socket, printed in hexadecimal.

          OBJECT:TYPE is the name of the registered printer and its
          type.
