I'm running CorelDraw 8.433 on Windows 2000 Professional and am trying to create a PS file (print to file) using the AdobePS Linotronic 930 V 3.3 J print driver. Everything looks great in print preview, but when I send it to print, nothing happens. The file name that I am trying to send to print has between 30-32 characters and several of those characters are commas, which need to remain in the file name because the files are being imported into a database for storage. However, when I take the commas out of the file name, the PS file is created without problems. The following statement is from Microsoft regarding file names: A file name can contain up to 215 characters, including spaces. However, it is not recommended that you create file names with 215 characters. Most programs cannot interpret extremely long file names. File names cannot contain the following characters: \ / : * ? " < > | The problem is sporadic as some files have the problem and others don't. I have tried different print drivers, different machines, as well as different versions of Corel, but the PS still fails until I remove the commas from these problem file's names. Having read some of the discussion topics of this forum, I did check the printer ports to make sure I had one for "FILE:" and I do, so that's not the answer. If anyone has ever heard of such problem or can give any advice to resolve the problem, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks, Robert Morris
