at_cho_prn(1)                                       at_cho_prn(1)



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.

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.
