Hi, everyone: Does any have any experience using MultiSpool for DeskWriter? I have tried it without any problem so far! System: 6.0.5 Ram: 5 MB DeskWriter is connected to serial port. Will using MultiSpool cause any problem on DeskWriter? Thanks for any response! Darda

Darda: I tried using MultiSpool with my DeskWriter for a month or so and ran into problems when I tried to launch other applications while printing. (crashes) If you stay within the same application and do work there while printing is going on, you should be fine. The other problem that I ran into was using it with many copies of the same document (re: choose Copies: 5 or more) or many different documents at the same time. Apparently too much information sitting in the queue messes it up. (at a guess) --Brad
