I used SuperSpool on my SE for a while, but tired of the problems.
I was using System 6.0.2; I don't recall the SuperSpool version.  It was
about one year old.

It had an annoying feature: when using MultiFinder, the keyboard and
mouse would "go to sleep" for about 10 seconds at a time every few minutes
while the printer was printing.  It made the machine very hard to use while
background printing took place.  I confirmed the effect on a friend's SE, and
on a virgin system right "out of the box".

Some programs, such a Managing Your Money, would crash if printing was
attempted when SuperSpool was installed.

I really liked what the program COULD HAVE BEEN, but I couldn't reconcile
myself to living with the reality.

The SuperSpool tech support folks were unable to help.  I finally got a refund.
