Dear Apple,
Is there any way you could possibly add a way to change the printer associated
with a PrintMonitor Spooled Document? If I am sending a document to one
printer for printing, and it happens to be busy, I would like to be able to
change its destination printer without having to cancel the print job, re-open
my application and choose a different printer with the chooser, and then
reprint.
Would it be possible to have a menu of available printers and then just select
the print job you are interested in and then use the menu to redirect it?
Just a thought,..

I heartily second this proposal. Some people send very very long documents
to the long documents printer (the II) and sometimes I'm guilty of the same.
If you have a bunch of short documents to print and have to switch printers
it takes lots of time.

Mahboud & Shirley, This is a feature that is currently available in SuperMac Software's SuperLaserSpool 2.0. If for anyone reason the selected LaserWriter is unavailable, you can change any spool files destination LaserWriter simply by using the Laser Queue DA's Print button. This will present a windown listing the currently available LaserWriters in one's local AppleTalk zone. Fabian Ramirez SuperMac Technology fabian@cup.portal.com sun!cup.portal.com!fabian

Also I'd like to see printmonitors "I can't print this" dialog have a "Postpone" opeion in addtion to the current "try again" and "cancel". Jim Meiss jdm@emx.utexas.edu jdm@fusion.utexas.edu
