Short: Printmanager for AmigaOS3 (39.23) Author: Stephan Rupprecht Uploader: stephan.rupprecht@gmx.de Type: text/print Requires: AmigaOS3 or better Kurz: Druckauftragsmanager für AmigaOS3 (39.23) Replaces: text/print/PrtManUpd.lha PrintManager v39 is a so called printer-spooler, it intercepts all printer. device calls to the parallel-/serial.device and saves the printer specific raw data to a file. This way, programs sending data to the printer don't have to wait for the slow printer to continue. PrintManager also gives you some control over the data send to the printer. You can even print files directly from inside PrintManager using the datatypes-system. FEATURES ° caches only printer.device calls ° can cache all calls to parallel-/serial.device ° allows to exclude certain tasks from spooling ° nice gui which works with proportional fonts ° files can be printed from inside Printmanager (uses datatypes.lib) ° works with datatypes.library v45 (v45 recommend, not required!) ° own FAST parallel.device (registered version only) ° localized ° after reset/crash unfinished printings are recovered ° delayed printing ° print count function ° allows to redirect printing to another device ° upto 8 devices can be spooled ° ... REQUIREMENTS any Amiga (compatible) computer with at least AmigaOS3.0 and (of course:-) a printer. NOTE Although this program is based on Printmanager 2.0 by Nicola Salmoria, no part of the Printmanager v39 code has been taken from Nicolas version (it is a complete new program)! HISTORY SINCE LAST RELEASE 39.23 new option ENUM=FULLNAME/S . spool.device uses async doublebuffering to speed up saving and printing, especially printers with large buffers will profit from it. ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 10629 7959 25.1% 04-May-99 16:37:14 +020patch.gp 3400 1603 52.8% 27-Apr-99 16:45:50 +dansk.ct 2316 1211 47.7% 27-Apr-99 16:45:50 +printmanager.catalog 2670 1345 49.6% 27-Apr-99 16:45:50 +printmanager.catalog 2886 1497 48.1% 27-Apr-99 16:45:50 +PrintManager.catalog 5397 2606 51.7% 27-Apr-99 16:45:52 +printmanager.ct 2440 1242 49.0% 27-Apr-99 16:45:52 +printmanager.catalog 3562 1689 52.5% 27-Apr-99 16:45:52 +printmanager.ct 2512 1253 50.1% 27-Apr-99 16:45:52 +printmanager.catalog 5013 2326 53.6% 27-Apr-99 16:45:52 +printmanager_ita.ct 2326 1225 47.3% 27-Apr-99 16:45:52 +printmanager.catalog 3250 1568 51.7% 27-Apr-99 16:45:52 +printmanager_norsk.ct 2604 1364 47.6% 27-Apr-99 16:45:52 +printmanager.catalog 5136 2570 49.9% 27-Apr-99 16:45:52 +printmanager_pl.ct 3728 1669 55.2% 27-Apr-99 16:45:52 +printmanager.cd 2478 1307 47.2% 27-Apr-99 16:45:52 +PrintManager.catalog 4961 2361 52.4% 27-Apr-99 16:45:52 +PrintManager.ct 2252 1189 47.2% 27-Apr-99 16:45:52 +printmanager.catalog 3307 1570 52.5% 27-Apr-99 16:45:52 +PrintManager.ct 2354 1299 44.8% 27-Apr-99 16:45:52 +printmanager.catalog 5340 2639 50.5% 27-Apr-99 16:45:52 +printmanager.ct 2067 1178 43.0% 27-Apr-99 16:45:54 +Developer.info 784 458 41.5% 27-Apr-99 16:45:54 +pmcmdex 2585 1062 58.9% 27-Apr-99 16:45:54 +pmcmdex.c 376 262 30.3% 27-Apr-99 16:45:54 +ReadMe 2067 1174 43.2% 27-Apr-99 16:45:54 +Docs&Regforms.info 2062 1166 43.4% 27-Apr-99 16:45:54 +deutsch.info 37236 14928 59.9% 27-Apr-99 16:45:54 +PrintManager.guide 1467 1101 24.9% 27-Apr-99 16:45:54 +PrintManager.guide.info 1086 480 55.8% 27-Apr-99 16:45:54 +RegistrationsFormular 1234 776 37.1% 27-Apr-99 16:45:54 +RegistrationsFormular.info 2062 1169 43.3% 27-Apr-99 16:45:54 +english.info 29717 12012 59.5% 27-Apr-99 16:45:54 +PrintManager.guide 1467 1101 24.9% 27-Apr-99 16:45:54 +PrintManager.guide.info 1309 552 57.8% 27-Apr-99 16:45:54 +RegistrationForm 1234 775 37.1% 27-Apr-99 16:45:54 +RegistrationForm.info 2062 1167 43.4% 27-Apr-99 16:45:54 +espaņol.info 2911 1006 65.4% 27-Apr-99 16:45:56 +FormularioDeRegistro 1234 769 37.6% 27-Apr-99 16:45:56 +FormularioDeRegistro.info 45262 16209 64.1% 27-Apr-99 20:59:44 +PrintManager.guide 1467 1106 24.6% 27-Apr-99 16:45:54 +PrintManager.guide.info 2062 1171 43.2% 27-Apr-99 16:45:56 +DosDrivers.info 237 175 26.1% 27-Apr-99 16:45:56 +SPOOL 481 263 45.3% 27-Apr-99 16:45:56 +SPOOL.info 2293 1781 22.3% 27-Apr-99 16:45:56 +fastpar.ptch 18480 11393 38.3% 27-Apr-99 16:45:56 +gpatch 519 313 39.6% 27-Apr-99 16:45:56 +IMPORTANT 1234 770 37.6% 27-Apr-99 16:45:56 +IMPORTANT.info 5410 1898 64.9% 27-Apr-99 16:45:56 +Install 661 320 51.5% 27-Apr-99 16:45:56 +Install.info 38328 25133 34.4% 04-May-99 16:37:14 +PrintManager 3455 2272 34.2% 27-Apr-99 16:45:56 +PrintManager.info 1124 754 32.9% 27-Apr-99 16:45:56 +SetPUNT -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 292534 146186 50.0% 04-May-99 16:47:20 53 files
