[comp.sys.mac] Deskwriter and spooling

alms@cambridge.apple.com (Andrew L. M. Shalit) (11/16/89)

Does anyone know of a print spooler that works with the DeskWriter?
(or a planned future print spooler?).

thanks.

p.s. I just got a deskwriter (yesterday).  So far I'm very happy with
it.  It has worked without any hitches (unlike the Laserjet IIP with
MacPrint) and the print quality is very nice.  The only problem I've
had is that the ink can smudge if you don't let it dry for a few seconds
before handling it.

SuperMac's updating SuperLaserSpool to work with DeskWriter.
When? Not sure, probably "Real Soon Now :-)"

Andrew,

There are no spoolers that directly support the HP DeskWriter.  We are looking
into the POSSIBILITY of supporting it in the future, but we're not making any
promises.  We have been told by GDT Softworks that their JetLink Express 
driver software is compatible with SLS 2.0 and the DeskWriter, but we have
not confirmed this.

Oh REALLY...that's news to me.  As I've mentioned previously, SuperMac is     
looking into the POSSIBILITY of supporting the HP DeskWriter, but at this
time, neither SuperLaserSpool or SuperSpool will directly support the
DeskWriter.

I'm sorry if I'm spreading mis-information, but I was just relaying what I
was told by SuperMac's product information person over SuperMacs's general
product information and technical support line.  Thank you for clarifying this.
