-
- I have written a real printer spooler which is in its beta-testing
- stage. This spooler uses either RAM or a disk file or both to buffer
- data. RAM and disk usage can be set by the user. Any number of jobs
- can be queued, but in this version the jobs can't be deleted individually
- (all buffered jobs can be deleted, however).
-
- Spooler works with PRT:, printer.device, SER: or PAR: (depending on
- which type of a printer is being used). I have been testing Spool
- with DPaint, Final Copy, ADPro, PRT: etc. Spooler is a commodity
- and works on 2.04 or higher. Printing jobs can be temporarily delayed
- or redirected to user-specified files (like CMD but easier to use).
- Buffer allocation is intelligent, ie. the disk file is treated like
- random access memory and the file can be re-used any number of times
- during printing.
-
- Default configuration can be saved in a file, in icon's tooltypes, or
- supplied on CLI command line.
-
- For more information, please e-mail..
