I tried an experiment last night, in responce to some
news comments that you can use the pd/shareware prog.
"multispool" on sumex to provide background printing
with the HP DeskWriter. I downloaded the 2.1 drivers and
multispool from sumex, installed, and "poof", it didn't
work! I am running ATM (+ many other inits) and MultiFinder
on a IIci w/o a cpu cache, and the DW hooked up
using appletalk. The multispool prog. gets the document
to print (i.e., it shows up in the spool queue) but the
printer status line says "not present" or "not found"
and it never prints.
If I pull out multi-spool, the printer works (even seems
a tad faster with the 2.1 drivers.)

Am I hosed? is it ATM? (I did not remove ATM, as I have
cut out most of my bitmapped fonts from the system) Is it
appletalk? Space aliens? Anyone got this combo to work?

reply via e-mail or post (gee, that's helpful)

thanks,
