[comp.sys.mac.misc] Multispool

tigger@freezer.it.udel.edu (david faust) (03/27/91)

I have recently downloaded multispool and can not get it to work. I got it
to work once but I am not sure how. Does anyone know exactly what you need
to do to get this sucker working. I would really appreciate getting it going
because I hate waiting for the printer! I have Printmonitor installed along
with multispool. I also have the multispool folder in my system file. Do I need
to do anything else? Thanks for your help,
Dave

Sounds like the problem I had with MultiSpool.  I'm not sure if this is just my
system but I had to reboot with all my INIT's shut down (using either
INITPicker or something similar).  Rebooting with ANY of them on causes
MultiSpooler to show an icon during the "March of the Icons" but it doesn't
show up on the Apple menu.  Once you get it working, the FIRST thing you do is
hit the "Parms" button and ensure that "Start suspended" is deselected.  Once
you do this, Multispool should begin to work (and Boy, does it work well.  Much
better than SuperSpool).
