You can use the GXJobIdle function to release time to other processes while your printing extension or printer driver is performing a computationally intensive task.

OSErr GXJobIdle (void);
function result
An error code. The value noErr indicates that the operation was successful.
DESCRIPTION
The GXJobIdle function tells QuickDraw GX to release time to other processes that are currently active. If your driver is performing a computationally intensive process that can potentially lock other processes out for an extended period of time, you need to periodically call this function.

RESULT CODES

or there was not enough memory to load it.
gxPrUserAbortErrThe user has canceled printing.
