For printing in the background get a copy of MaxPrint. This is a print spooler which really works. It works quite well with all the applications I've tried it with so far and prints quite well to the Imagewriter. They do have a note about it only working with the Imagewriter and not working with AppleTalk printers. It installs as a DA and allows you to specify which drive should be used for sppooling. Thus you could create a sizeable RamDisk and spool to it and have things work quite well. I have noticed no problems just spooling it to a SCSI hard disk although you would probably want to avoid spooling to floopy. It also comes with a RamDisk program that seems to work adequately although I actually prefer RamStart+. -- David W. Berry dwb@well.uucp dwb@Delphi dwb@GEnie 293-0752@408.MaBell
