- SUMMARY
- =======
-
- Windows NT does not include a Generic/Text Only printer driver or any
- other NULL port driver that allows you to output pure text from an
- application that cannot export text on its own.
-
- WORKAROUND
- ==========
-
- 1. Use the Generic IBM Graphics 9-pin printer driver.
-
- 2. Set it to print to FILE.
-
- 3. Format the document with Printer Font.
-
- This produces a file that contains all the text with only a small
- amount of control codes. You can then edit the control codes out of
- the file with any text editor, such as Notepad.
