Here's what Aldus told me when I tried to print with SuperLaserSpool; actually I don't think it was Aldus but the company currently responsible for SuperLaserSpool. If you try to print a complex PageMaker file, the spooler tries to stick all the commands into a spool file--downloaded fonts, etc. The file gets very big. At that point, it gives up and nothing prints. I think a small file will print, though I haven't bothered to try. As a result, I keep printing from PageMaker in the foreground and cursing as it ties up my machine. I can understand the inability to handle very large spool files. What I find incompetent is that no error message is sent to the user. Nothing at all happens. Steve Goldfield
