1.  MacSpool was a very nice program, when I bought it for system
3.1.1.  It crashes horribly with system 3.2/ finder 5.3.  It would
spool to Ram, and thus was Ram limited (about 10 best quality pages,
on a Mac+ with MS Word).  You also could not use the serial
communication port to communicate with another machine, while the
printer was on the printer port.  Mainstay has never notified of a fix
for the bug eventhough I was the first to notify them of it.  I too
would not deal with them any more.

2.  MaxPrint is a DA, and spools to the disk of your choice.  It isn't
as fast as MacSpool, but works superbly.  I don't know much more about
it except that it works great on a hard disk, and a friend of mine
swears by it.

3.  SuperSpool by Dataframe.  Another option but I know nothing of it.
