[net.micro.apple] Macintosh PRINTERSPOOLER

rick@sara70.UUCP (rick) (10/18/84)

It is possible to use the printerspooler with MacWrite-
generated documents:
1. Choose "print" from the file-menu in MacWrite,
   just as if you were going to print your document.
   Disable the printer by pressing the select-switch.
2. Wait while MacWrite is "saving printed copy to disk".
3. When the message "now printing etc.." appears: reset the Mac.
4. Now there is a "print file" with its own icon.
   If this file is empty you pressed the switch at
   the wrong time (sorry).
5. Start the printerspooler and print...
 
I don't know if many others found out the same, thought I'd post
it anyway.
