[comp.sys.mac.misc] Print Spoolers for ImageWriterII and System 7?

amadeus@pnet51.orb.mn.org (Chris Helget) (06/06/91)

If any of you know of any print spoolers that work
under System 7 with the ImageWriter please let me know.
I've tried:
* MultiSpool - cannot be accessed under System 7
* SuperLaserSpool2.02 - crashes on startup
* QuickSpool II (from GCC Technologies) - inhibits printing, get print error
 
I've also tried PrintAid which is supposed to allow background printing
but this doesn't seem to work with Microsoft Word (even with the Can
Background bit set).  Is there a way to get it or any of the above to work
under System 7?

Please reply to:

Some things changed in System 7 which prevented PrintAid from de-modalizing
modal dialogs.

The new version 1.4, which I just mailed to some FTP sites (sumex-aim,
rascal, mac.archive), will work under System 7.  Also, it is easier to use,
as it does not require the use of ResEdit.
