Open Transport: Network Printers Missing From Chooser (4/96)

I cannot get any printers to appear in the Chooser when I select the LaserWriter 8.3.2 driver.

I'm trying to see a TI Microlaser and I've also tried seeing a NEC SilentWriter. I have tried both of these printers on a LocalTalk connection to a Macintosh Quadra, with the LaserWriter 8.3.2 printer driver, and both printers worked fine. I'm using this same LocalTalk connection to a Power Macintosh 8500 running Open Transport.
This issue was addressed in Open Transport 1.0.8 and later. The issue was first addressed in AppleTalk version 60.0.8 (a component of Open Transport 1.0.8).

What happened was some AppleTalk packets from the client were being addressed to 'network id 0'. These packets were ignored by some laser printers on LocalTalk.
