[comp.sys.mac] SuperSpool and SuperLaserSpool

geoff@pmafire.UUCP (Geoff Allen) (08/21/89)

I just got a copy each of SuperSpool and SuperLaserSpool that a friend
found at a garage sale (sometimes it helps to be known as one of those
wierdos who likes the Mac :-) ).  The SuperSpool still has the registration
card (though it has been opened) and the SuperLaserSpool is still
shrinkwrapped.

What's the difference between the two?  I know SuperLaserSpool works with 
LaserWriters and SuperSpool doesn't.  Is there any other difference?

I have an SE with 1 Mbyte RAM (hoping to upgrade in time for System 7.0). 
I use an ImageWriter II and System 6.0.2.

Thanks

Geoff,

Essentially, SuperSpool is a subset of SLS.  Their functionality is basically
the same.  SuperSpool is specifically for direct connect ImageWriter printers;
whereas, SLS is for all Apple printers (LaserWriters, AppleTalk ImageWriters,
or direct connect ImageWriters) and this should be indicated on the packaging.
