[comp.sys.mac.apps] FOP 3.0: can't use FP Spooler and modem simultaneously

ngo@tammy.harvard.edu (Tom Ngo) (01/17/91)

I just bought Freedom of Press 3.0 for use with my HP DeskWriter and
have run into an interesting problem: If I want to use the FP Spooler,
there is no configuration of cables that will permit me to use my
modem!  Here's the logic:

    * To use the FP Spooler, you choose the LaserWriter driver and
      select a "virtual printer" called FP Spooler.

    * Choosing the LaserWriter driver requires turning on AppleTalk.

    * Turning on AppleTalk ties up the printer port.

    * There is only one port left over--and I must use that for the
      DeskWriter.

Does anyone out there have a solution to the problem?
Please email responses, and I will post a summary if there seems to be
enough interest.

Thank in advance.
