HPdeskJet 895SE - "Print to File"
One of the selections when printing is "Print to File". If I elect to
print to file, exactly what is produced? Is a file created on disk with a selected name and in what format? Is it a Dos file? Found no answer to this at the HP website. Somewhere I did see a communication suggesting that a PDF file could somehow be converted to a Word or WordPerfect file by using the "print to file" command from the printer. Does anyone have an answer or a reference as to where I could go for an answer to this question? Molin Vardo |

HPdeskJet 895SE - "Print to File"
When you select the print to file option then the system will prompt you for
a file name. You select the name and location for the print file. The file that is created will contain the print commands that would have been sent to the printer. You could use the file to print the document to the same type printer either on this machine or another machine - it's not useful for any other purpose. Some file writing utilities, like a PDF file creator, install themselves as a 'printer' configured to print to a file. This allows an application (such as a word processor) to send its output to the 'printer' so that a file of the correct format (PDF in this example) is created. The word processor thinks it is printing to a printer and isn't aware that it is actually creating a PDF file. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (DTS) "Molin Vardo" wrote in message ...
