In article <1991Jan10.130409.16884@granite.cr.bull.com> buck@granite.cr.bull.com (I) write: >What I want is to be able to select "print", have the (document, paint image, >whatever) spooled to a file (instead of the printer), so I can cart the file >to some other machine that has a laser printer on it. While the proper answer is "RTFM", the expanded answer is: associate your printer with the device "FILE:" (rather than "LPT1:") using the Control Panel. This writes the output to the file. The file may then be transported to another machine and can be printing using the DOS 'PRINT' command.
