    Hi all,

    a minor point only, but it'd be nice to know how to do this:

    The WinNT 4.0 (SP5) server in the building has a number of queues set up
    for Apple LaserWriters around the place, so the Win 95/98 PCs can print to
    them.

    Problem is that all the spooled printers appear in the chooser on the
    Mac-side of things, which is cluttering up our AppleTalk zone (and confuses
    the issue of which are real printers and which are just spools).

    I figured we can live with this, as everything seems to work fine, until
    one of the higher-ups tells me that there's a way for this to be switched
    off (so that the print queues appear in the Windows Network Neighbourhood,
    but not in the AppleTalk zones).

    Problem is, the boss doesn't know how it's done... he's just seen someone
    do it, and can't remember how (wasn't paying much attention at the time).

    I've sniffed around the various spool settings and print settings on the
    server, but can't figure out how to do this.

    Is it possible? If so, how?

    Thanks for any help.

    Cheers,
