I had the same problems when I started to use SuperLaserSpool (2.0) with
my ImageWriter II. It was very annoying. However, it was not SLS's fault. 
When I checked the spool folder (which I had made invisible with ResEdit),
there was a document that was not a spool file. Most likely I've put it
there myself (don't ask me why). SLS started every 3 seconds or so, checked
the document, and decided to ignore it. Repeat forever.

When I removed the offending document, everything was OK. SLS runs silent
in the background, and you don't notice it until you start to print.

Due to some other incompability (with inits/cdevs or system 6) I've stopped
using SLS (I think the problem is with some init, not with SLS), but that's
another story. When will Apple support background printing for the Image-
Writer???
