You can set the AppleTalk NBP type by changing the "product" string in
the statusdict.  Something  like this should work:

%!
% replace the zero with your printer's password, if necessary
serverdict begin 0 exitserver
statusdict begin
/product (LaserWriter) def
end

This string is mentioned in PostScript Language Reference Manual (the
red book), appendix D, section 6. (I'm not sure where to find it in the
latest version of the LRM since I don't own a copy yet.)
