Does anyone know of an application which does background printing of *any* type of file for the ImageWriter (preferably under UniFinder)? I have tried VafPrint, but this only works for TEXT files. What I would like is something along the lines of the various Laser Spoolers which hook onto the standard printer driver, and redirect its output to a file, with an interrupt-driven routine reading that file and dumping it to the IW. Anyone done this?

Frank, Take a look at SuperMac Software's SuperSpool 5.0, even SuperLaserSpool 2.0. SuperSpool is specifically for the direct connect ImageWriters (I/II/LQ). Fabian Ramirez SuperMac Technology fabian@cup.portal.com sun!cup.portal.com!fabian
