TITLE :Adding a Filename to Print to in Print Manager
PRODUCT :Windows NT
PROD/VER:3.10
OPER/SYS:Windows
KEYWORDS:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
- Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Windows NT can be configured to print directly to a specified file without
prompting for a filename. You can accomplish this by adding a value to the
Registry. Once you add the value, you can configure an additional port from
Print Manager.
To add the value, use the following procedure:
WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious, system-wide
problems that may require you to reinstall Windows NT to correct them.
Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of
Registry Editor can be solved. Use this tool at your own risk.
1. Start Registry Editor and locate the following Registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft
\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Ports
2. From the Edit menu, choose Add Value. In the Value Name field type the
full path and filename you would like to print to (c:\print2.fil for
example). Select REG_SZ for the data type. Leave the String field Blank.
3. Save your changes and exit Registry Editor.
4. Exit Windows NT and restart your computer.
5. Start Print Manager and select the correct printer.
6. Choose Properties from the Printer menu.
7. From Print To, select the filename you specified in Step 2.
