- With the new version of PostScript in LaserWriter IINTR, IIg, IIf, Personal
- LaserWriter NT the code I used to change the Name Binding Type (NBP) in the
- PRAM (or EEROM) of the laserwriter does not work. I have been able to
- change the type, until you power cycle the laserwriter.
-
- It appears the NBP type is nolonger stored in EEROM, can anyone confirm
- this or supply the correct postscript code to change the NBP type and store
- it in EEROM.
