Many people have claimed here that a Mac with MultiFinder does not
make you wait for printing.

Please tell me how to accomplish this wonderous feat.  I've got backgound
printing enabled.  When I print, control returns to the application fairly
quickly.

And then every few seconds while the file is printed, menus stop working
and keystrokes get lost.  This does not sound like "not waiting" to me.
I suppose if I typed at 3wpm, it might not be a problem, but I type a
lot faster than this, and it is quite annoying.

ps: yes, it is better than not having background printing enabled.
But it is a *long* way from what it should be.  I hope this works
better under System 7.
