[comp.sys.mac.misc] Why I can't print under MultiFinder

jlc@atux01.UUCP (Jim Collymore) (12/15/90)

Well, I had posted a request for help a while ago about why I couldn't
print on my SE/30 (using SuperSpool 5.0, System 6.0.5) when under
MultiFinder.

Well, it appears that the culprit was a shareware INIT called "ToMultiFinder."
Just before you go to the desktop, this init presents a screen asking you to
determine whether you want to run Finder or MulstiFinder, and if you want any
particular applications launched.  Well, if SuperSpool doesn't know which 
whether you're running Finder or MultiFinder after it loads, it gets "confused."
This results in printing problems with MultiFinder for some reason.

So if you find that you are having this problem, and you are using the
"ToMultifinder" INIT, remove "ToMultiFinder from your system folder and you
should be fine.

Don't you think you'll be OK if you made ToMultiFinder load and give you that
choice BEFORE SuperSpool loads? Just put the letter "U" before the name of 
SuperSpool, and it might work.
