SL, "…PgS will pause during printing sometimes if its screen isn't on top." It doesn't only pause, it corrupts the PostScript output file. I get around this by _always_ printing to RAM: This accomplishes several beneficial things. 1. It's fast. The file prints and I can use PgS again very quickly. It seems to always finish printing before the above described bug cuts in, should I accidently push the PgS screen to the background. 2. This is the best way to acheive printer spooling since PgS doesn't directly offer such a function (and probably shouldn't). In my PgS printer configuration, "Send To Disk File " is the default. When ready to print, I hit RtAmiga-P once to see the Print Requester Window, check to see that the parameters there are acceptable, and hit RtAmiga-P again to accept the settings. Then I hit F7 which is a macro which sends the file to RAM:x. First, the Macro clears (Esc key) whatever path comes up in the requester that the second RtAmiga-P brings up. It then enters "RAM:" and "X" and a couple of carriage returns. I have a little script file running from my startup-sequence which checks for the existence of RAM:x every few seconds. If it finds RAM:x, it sends it out the serial port, then erases RAM:x. This all takes an instant to do once it is all set. Makes printing from PgS painless. You go your way . . . I'll go Maui Rich 😉
