Short: Printmanager for AmigaOS3 (39.4)
Author: Stephan Rupprecht
Uploader: stephan.rupprecht@metronet.de
Type: util/wb
Requires: AmigaOS3 or better
Kurz: Druckauftragsmanager für AmigaOS3 (39.4)
PrintManager v39 is a so called printer-spooler, it intercepts all printer.
device calls to the parallel-/serial.device and saves the printer specific
raw data to a file. This way, programs sending data to the printer don't have
to wait for the slow printer to continue. PrintManager also gives you some
control over the data send to the printer. You can even print files directly
from inside PrintManager using the datatypes-system.
FEATURES
° caches only printer.device calls
° can cache all calls to parallel-/serial.device
° allows to exclude certain tasks from spooling
° nice gui which works with proportional fonts
° files can be printed from inside Printmanager (uses datatypes.lib)
° works with datatypes.library v45 (v45 recommend, not required!)
° own FAST parallel.device (registered version only)
° localized
° after reset/crash unfinished printings are recovered
° delayed printing
° print count function
REQUIREMENTS
any Amiga (compatible) computer with at least AmigaOS3.0 and (of course:-)
a printer.
NOTE
Although this program is based on Printmanager 2.0 by Nicola Salmoria,
no part of the Printmanager v39 code has been taken from Nicolas
version (it is a complete new program)!
HISTORY
39.0 first public release
39.1 some minor changes, new catalogs (polish and french)
39.2 bug fix: printing from inside PrintManager didn't work
on non cybergfx systems. added version number to
commodity name. New tooltype DATEFMT. Added function
to rename jobs.
39.3 printing text files from inside PrtMan works now. DrawInfo
wasn't released. Changed GUI of 'rename ...' window.
Menuitems weren't always disabled/enabled, when the job list
changed. APPICON=ACTIVE didn't work when all jobs were placed
below « Next Job ». spool.device could crash the system when
removed from memory.
39.4 new print count funtion, internal changes in spool.device. czech
catalog. APPICONNAME tooltype wasn't saved correctly. SetPUNT
saved the printer preferences only to ENV:. serbian catalog.
security requester when trying to remove all jobs from list
and when trying to overwrite an already existing file by
'Jobs/Save as ...'. reworked listview. spool.device process
wasn't removed from memory on expunge. Added a compatiblity
kludge for printer.device v42, when printing files from
inside PrtManager (not the best solution yet). Fixed rounding
error.
