Is there a relatively simple procedure to permit sending a PS document to a PS printer, but delaying the actual printing until another session? What I'm trying to accomplish is pre-load documents for printing, for a product concept demo I'm working on, that will print very quickly (i.e., less than 10 seconds) after selecting a print function from a SuperCard application on a Mac. Any clues? Steve

If you consider the entire form (document) to be a standalone procedure and define it as such, then you can send it to the printer. It won't print if the ENTIRE document including showpages etc is enclosed in the body of the procedure name. You can then invoke it by name and have it execute. The complexity of the document will still cause it to take time, and the 10 second goal might or mightnot be realized. Cheers Woody
