I was wondering if anyone's been able to use the printer buffering on the IIGS control panel? This buffer can't do something neat like use extra memory as a big printing buffer can it? Rocky Giovinazzo

There's a very good shareware INIT (BUFFER.INIT, I believe) which works in conjunction with the keyboard buffer to provide either a 32K or 64K buffer for TEXT (not graphics mode) printing. It's great if you run AppleWorks3.0 off of a GS/OS boot (I do it off of a RamKeeper on one machine and a hard drive on another). ====================================================================== === Paul Brandon Psychology Dept Mankato State Univ === === PKBRANDON@MSUS1.MSUS.EDU Mankato, MN 56001 === ======================================================================

Fortunately, there are a couple utilities that will let you define the size of the buffer. They're available, but I don't know offhand what they'd be. I'd recommend checking the FTP sites. -- Jawaid Bazyar | "Twenty seven faces- with their eyes turned to Graduated!/Comp Engineering | the sky.
