Hi,

I have been asked to write an application that stores a copy of any item
printed on a Win2k/XP machine. The app is to act as a printer in the
standard windows printer dialogue, and grab any data printed to it.

Has anyone got any pointers/tutorials on how to install an executable as a
printer, or to automatically run an application when something is printed?

Any help at all is appreciated, we have been scouring the web for over a
week and getting nowhere fast!

Thanks in advance,

Stu

You may want to develop a printer driver (for example in unmanaged C++).
