In addition to what you want to do I also wanted the ability to hide printers in one zone from another zone. Please forward any replys you get to me. This problem is a major headache and will only get worst as our network is expanding to include our whole campus. As a Postscript I would like to say that I am totally amazed at the lack of foresight that went into apple's print server software. Don't they follow their own advice on how to write a print server ?
