- Ok.. I've done this, but it has been a while, so bear with me and be prepared
- to fiddle around a bit...
-
- step 1: go into setup and load a applicable postscript printer driver.
- (remember, not all postscripts are compatable)
- step 2: go into printers and associate that driver to printing to a file.
- step 3: when you print, choose the 'printer' that is actually a file.
-
- That should do it. I might have my "do this here" wrong, but this is the basic
- idea. Unfortunately, I'm at work on an IBM4381, so I don't have Windows handy
- right now... ;)
-
- Hope this helps,
- -Tad
