Print direct to a pre-specified file
Hi
I need to locate a printer driver that will print directly to a generic text file. Within Win 98SE I can select the Generic Text Driver which provides the correct output but there is a prompt that asks for the required filename. As I want to direct the output to a print spooler can anyone suggest a solution / utility that will perform the same task but will use the same pre-defined filename each time without a prompt? Any help greatly appreciated. Regards Rich |
richclark,
can anyone suggest a solution / utility that will perform the same task but will use the same pre-defined filename each time without a prompt? Adds a new "Local Port", name it as the file name and connect the "Generic/Text Only Driver" to this port. Each time you print to the "Generic" printer, the file will be created without user intervention.
