Hi,

I have a program which is printing in PCL.
We want to convert the PCL output to PDF.
Everything works if I install a Laserjet III printer driver which prints

to a File.
The only problem is that there is a modal messagebox asking for the
Filename.
Is there any possibility to print to File without intervention ?
Are there any alternative printer driver where I can do this ?
It would be enough if I can configure a default filename.
If there is any better newsgroup for this question please let me know.

regards, Leopold Zyka

Hi Leopold,

If you select a local port under Windows first and change the
port name to a file path later on, such as
c:\printfiles\output.pcl or whatever, Windows will output the print data to that
file. Of course this file will be overwritten as soon as you start
another print job. This way you shouldn't get the message anymore.
