Folks:
I do not know where else to ask this question. I have Goggled it every
way I could think of.
I have a laptop with Vista Home premium. I am in a hospital. I do not
have a printer.
Occasionally I would like to Print to Text a program output so I could
Email it to a friend to print for me.
Is there anyway I can do that.
This is usually part of your printer software. With my HP printer I
simply click File>print, and when the print dialog comes up there is a
check box for "Print to file". I use it occasionally. I think it is just
a modified copy command.
The problem with creating a .prn file is that I believe the recipient must
have the same printer to open it. I could be wrong about that, but that's
why I suggested the OP create a .pdf instead.
Why doesn't the OP just copy the document to a flash drive? Why bother to
change the format at all?
And send the flash drive to the friend? That assumes that his friend
has the same (or compatible) software that was used to prepare the
document. That may very well be an erroneous assumption, and the
friend may be able to do nothing with the copied document.
