RE: [Digital BW] Spooling for Paul (was something else)

2001-12-16 by Nij

Paul,

I'm a bit hazy on Win98 settings, but I think that if you go to the Printers
'app', select your Piezo printer and right click to get the properties
dialog. On Win2000, the Spooling options are on the 'Advanced' tab - select
the "Spool documents so program finishes faster" option, along with "Start
printing immediately"

That ought to do the trick - though the options in Win98 may only be
'similar' to this and not exactly the same.

Best,
Nij
