Apple, in it's infinite wisdom, decided to support background printing only on laserwriters. Does anyone know of any spooling software that will work with an Imagewriter II? Public domain? FTP? adTHANXvance, Eric Raymond - raymond@pioneer.arc.nasa.gov

Please post responses -- I'd also be interested in a PD or cheap shareware spooler for the Imagewriter II.

FTP? > >adTHANXvance, > >Eric Raymond - raymond@pioneer.arc.nasa.gov I use SuperMac's SuperLaserSpool with my Imagewriter II and am generally very happy with it. One thing to be careful of, though: I create a lot of overhead presentations using MicroSoft PowerPoint. I find that SuperLaserSpool doesn't get character spacing correct when it prints landscape mode slides from PowerPoint -- I have to turn off spooling when I print these. For text, though, and I use a MacWrite and WriteNow, it's terrific. Price is $82 from MacConnection (September issue of MacWorld). -- Tom Royer Sanders Associates, A Lockheed Company MER24-1283, CS2034 (603)-885-9171 Nashua, NH 03061-2034
