LaserWriter Bridge: Setting Ethernet Zone

How do I change the Ethernet zone my LaserWriter Select 360 is in when using Apple's LaserWriter Bridge? When I use the LaserWriter Utility to change zones, the configuration reads "LocalTalk", and if I use the Apple Printer Utility, the configuration reads "Fixed Settings".
A LaserWriter Select 360 will appear in the same Ethernet zone as the computer to which it is attached. In other words, only one zone can be assigned to a LocalTalk device. The LaserWriter Bridge software will register LocalTalk devices on the default zone of the EtherTalk segment the bridge device is attached to.

To our knowledge, there is no "printer bridge" hardware or software which lets you register a LocalTalk device on a different zone of an EtherTalk segment. If you desire this level of functionality, you may wish to investigate obtaining a router.

Apple's LaserWriter Bridge shipped with the LaserWriter Select 360 and LaserWriter 4/600 PS printers. The LaserWriter Bridge is available on-line from Apple's software updates locations with the Network Software Installer.
