Summary: How to do background printing (a non-cheap solution)

Assuming you have a Mac II and a Laserwriter for development, (If you
are willing to settle for an Imagewriter, then spool boxes are
insanely cheap) if the only thing you need is background printing,
then get LaserSpool or equivalent, and the cheeepest secondhand mac
that will run it. Chances are, this config will be cheaper than some
UN*X boxes that I would care to mention, with equivalent
capabilities. And, when you are not spooling the Great American
Program, you have a whole 'nother processor to test out your programs
on.

And you can have it Right Now, not Real Soon.

(I'm not kidding. This is a cost-effective solution.)
