Any recommendations on print spoolers? Will System 7 have a print spooler? (Note: no hard disk...) (Getting tired of waiting for the printer) Thanks David Dantowitz david@cs.ucla.edu "Curb your dogma"

However, this would also seem to imply the user of MultiFinder, and the creation of a Spool Folder and files on the boot disk, so I would have to imagine that it's use on a floppy only system (unless you got a REAL small System and put it on a HD disk) would be just about next to impossible.

David, Consider SuperMac's SuperSpool for direct connect ImageWriters or SuperLaserSpool for direct connect or AppleTalk ImageWriters and LaserWriters. Fabian Ramirez SuperMac Technology fabian@cup.portal.com sun!cup.portal.com!fabian

In fact Apple has already announced that System 7.0 will be MultiFinder only. No more UniFinder! One of the reasons they are going to require 2MB to run 7.0.
