How do I install a Appletalk Zone for printers?

If you are using OS 9, and your question is about setting up zones for actual AppleTalk printers (most printers no longer need AppleTalk), then I think that would be a function provided by Apple IP Mac OS Server Admin program, and would not be available to setup on AppleShare clients. Do you have a network administrator who is knowledgeable about the use of AppleTalk zones?

Please rephrase your response to something I can understand.

I really don't know much about setting up zones, it's mostly outdated technology. But if you are using OS 9 or older, and have the Mac OS Server Admin app, the setup for Appletalk zones should be covered in the Users guides, which you can still download from the Apple support site, AFAIK

Here's a link to the quick setup guide for AppleShare IP 6

I see that you do not get zones unless your network has a router, and then not all routers have support for AppleTalk, so you would have to ask about that when you add a router to your network.
