The Layout: A growing PhoneNet/StarController network gatewayed to
	    an Ethernet via a FastPath 4.  There will be various 
	    flavors of Macs and at least 8 LaserWriters.  K-Star 7.0,
	    and CAP are running.

Question 1: What method is used to name the printers such that the
	    users will see something like "room 2", "room 3", etc., 
	    in the Chooser window?   
	     
Question 2: Is it possible to hide (using the above hardware/software) 
	    certain resources from users, i.e., not allow the users in 
	    Engineering to see the lasers in Accounting?  If not possible
	    now, what would be needed?

Problem 1:  Farallon's NodeHint doesn't work for me.  I've tried it on
	    an SE/30 and a Mac II.  I'm using ATview to get the node info.  
	    Maybe ATview gets it's node information from a different place 
	    than that set by NodeHint?  I don't have CheckNet or TrafficWatch.
	    My first guess is that I would see the node hint set by
	    "NodeHint" only if I were using the Farallon DA's.  ATview
	    seems to provide good info otherwise.  Farallon could only say 
	    that "it should work". 

That's enough for now,
TIA,
