Well, I'm glad to know that we're not the only site with this problem.
We have EXACTLY the same problem, and I can tell you all about it.
First, yes we are running ethertalk, with an Apple Internet router over
four zones, one of which is 'printer zone' with four printers.  Selecting
the printer through the chooser works fine, and we can print to any of the
printers in this manner.  A/UX 2.0 cannot handle this.  I can do at_cho_prn,
or watch atstatus all day long, but the zone info just plain makes 2.0
lose it's mind.

Yes, /etc/appletalkrc has ethertalk0 on, yes the kernel has ae6 on, yes
the print daemon is running, YES IT WORKS JUST FINE IF ONLY ONE ZONE
EXISTS!!!!!!!

You tell me....
