From: Werner Uhrig <CMP.WERNER@UTEXAS-20.ARPA> can someone enlighten me (us) how one can spool print files to disk rather than the printer? I'd like to be able to spool output to a disk rather than having to wait for that stupid printer. Hopefully, it would be possible to swap in a special (mostly empty) disk and direct output there, and print all those accumulated files at a later time all at once. I have seen several references to "spooling" in InsideMac (which, ***FLAME*** BTW is an attrocity, not a product anyone should have to pay money for **OFF**) and have been told that hitting the Interrupt "at the right moment" would stop things and allow you to see a disk-file, which can then be printed with the Printer-application. I don't recall any postings explaining addressing this topic, pardon me if I am wrong. -------
