Interesting. Do you use IOCONFIG to add them?

I have 250 network printers defined. All were defined using IOCONFIG with
the command sequence:

AD nnn;PATH=none;ID=hptcpjd
AC aaaa;LDEV=nnn

I even have a command file to do this. And, every single one has the class
NETLP in addition to the class(es) I define. Are you saying you remove the
class?

When I do the AD command, I include a CLASS=RALPH (or whatever) and it then
has that class only, not NETLP.
