Capture printing to file

[Guest]

By setting up a generic printer with a port of e.g. \temp.prn I can redirect
LPT1 to that file (temp.prn). However, what I would like is all printing to
be appended to the file. Whenever I send something new to be printed the old
temp.prn file is replaced with the new output.

Any suggestions.

FYI: I had been using the program PRN2FILE on my XP machines but for some
reason that has completely stopped redirecting on any machine.

Hi Arnold,

try PrintMulti from my homepage
http://www.lvbprint.de/bin/current/PrintMultiSetup.exe
It is free for client os.
It can be configured to print jobs to more than one printer. For each
printer many options can be set. One of it is to save/append the output
to a file with a dynamic file name (printer, user, date, ... specific).
Another option is to execute a program on the output file, which can be
used to create PDF files automatically with Ghostscript (parallel to the
printing to the physical printer).
Sorry, the manual is still only in german language, but a detailed
example configuration file is saved to the installation folder.
