DESCRIPTION
PrintManager is a printer spooler. Data sent to the printer is
cached on a disk file so that the printing program is able to
resume interactive operations.
The program is a system wedge, so it will work with *any* program,
not just ones explicitly written to take advantage of it.
PrintManager has a Graphical User Interface (GUI) which allows
the user to view the list of queued print jobs and perform some
operations like pause, remove, sort, save.
After a system crash or reset, unfinished print jobs are
automatically recovered.
An AppIcon is available on request where the user may drag icons
to print files. Under Kickstart 3.0, datatypes.library is used
to allow printing of any document which may be displayed by
MultiView.
Under Workbench 2.1 or later, localization is supported (currently
only Italian and German catalogs included).
