The respondent is incorrect.  Any windows print driver can be set up to
print to a file. Open "Control Panel," then open "Printers."  Choose the
print driver you need, the click on the box on the right labeled "Connect."
In the Connect dialog box you will see a scrollable list labeled "Ports:".
Scroll down to "File" and choose it.  You're all set.  When you're ready to
print something, first go into Print Setup and choose your new driver.  Then
print.  You're get a dialog box that asks you for the name of the file you
want to print to.  Enter the file name, hit enter, and you're all done.
