On XP or win2K, when you export through Piezo the file is spooled. After a
minute or two you can continue to use Photoshop. You can even spool several
prints and keep working. I once had two win98 machines hooked up with the
beater dedicated to printing to a 3000, and it didn't even have Photoshop on
it. You could send the file out of Pizeo, to the shared network printer, and
continue to work in Photoshop. I can't understand why this would be so
difficult to manage on the mac platform. Is it just a matter of Conetech
writing an os X driver? It wouldn't take an army of programmers to do that.
Surely os X, built on bsd, could manage.
