[comp.sys.mac.misc] Background stylewriter print drivers

rpm@sgi1.wag.caltech.edu (Richard P. Muller) (06/11/91)

	I bought a Stylewriter 1 1/2 months ago, and have been rather
happy with it. My only disappointment has been that it does not work
with the Apple print spooler, so all printing has to be done in the
foreground. I have held off buying SuperLaserSpool, or whatever the
application is that works with the Stylewriter in the background,
because I was certain that Apple would come out with an updated print
spooler the day after I ordered the commercial product.

	In any case, does anyone know (1) if the rumored print spool
update from Apple is close to completion, or (2) if there are any
other advantages to running SuperLaserSpool in addition to background
printing. I thank you all in advance for your time.

SuperLaserSpool V2.0.2 is purported to work with the StyleWriter
but I had a problem with rotated objects in MacDraw II not
printing.  Without SLS, everything printed fine.  With SLS,
flipped objects worked fine (as a workaround).
