Automatic Printing to a File Name in Windows



I have read the article "kbprint KB119256", in Microsoft
KnowledgeBase, which explains how to setup a path and file name for a
printer that basically has a FILE port type.

I am wondering if it is possible to have the filename change
dynamically. For example: append some sequence counter. The idea being
that in a multiple-user network many users printing to the same
printer would not overlay each others files. The prefix would be
consistent: "\\server\path\fileXXXX.txt" where XXXX will be the result
of some sequence counter generated by Windows automatically.
