The CC Driver for the LBP8 that you must be using to print with at the moment
has a print to file option in the connection window. (Accessed by ALT RIGHT
BUTTON clicking on the printer driver.

What happens if you set it to print to file and fill the box with the
neccessary OmniFile;Lanman.........stuff?

Alternatively there is an Acorn PDF for the LBP8 MkIII, although this is a
postscript driver so you may need to get a postscript cartridge for the
printer. (Everything in this last paragraph may very well be absolute
rubbish!!!)

I hope that this is of some help.

Best regards.
