[comp.sys.mac] background printing question

jdb@mordor.s1.gov (John Bruner) (07/03/87)

I would like to implement printing in one of my applications, and
this particular use requires that the printing be done asynchronously.
In this case the "pIdleProc" feature in the Printing Manager is
not sufficient.  I only need to print text, so the low-level printer
driver is sufficient for my needs; therefore, what I want to do
is use asynchronous PBControl calls.

My question is this -- does the printer driver support asychronous
operation?  This is very important to me; if it does not I'll
sacrifice portability between printers and write ASCII output with
the serial driver.
