A friend has requested information concerning background printing "spoolers"
for an Imagewriter II that is NOT on Appletalk.  

His scenario: 
   Two Macs, one Imagewriter II.  First Mac completes a document and wants to
print on the Imagewriter, however the second Mac (with Imagewriter attached
to it) is being used by someone else.  He would like to take the document on
floppy to the second Mac.  Tell it to print and have the Mac quickly back to
the second Mac's user so that he can continue working with the document
being printed in background.

Unfortunately Apple's Background Printing in Multifinder is only for
Laserwriters (along with all Spoolers I'm aware of).  Do you know of any
program that will accomplish this?

(He does not want to put this Imagewriter II on Appletalk)

I'd appreciate it if you would respond to me directly.

Thanks
