Digital BW, The Print

Hmm..not sure about this in XP, although I'd find it hard to 
believe there isn't an option available to get around this (then 
again, I know someone who recently bought an older PC to set 
up as a print server. He's running Win 2000 Pro). On the Mac you 
can get right back to work in PS as soon as spooling is done, 
provided Background Printing is enabled.
