How can i configure a text printer so that it will always
print to the same file ( so the user does not have to
fill in the file name)
 
Navigate to Add printer. Run the wizard, uncheck Automatically detect
and install.... . Check Create a new port. Select Local Port
Type fully-qualified path into the slot (e.g.
c:\printer_files\invoice.prn). Follow on-screen prompts to exit. Select
the new port as the connection for the printer driver.

Of course, the file will be overwritten with each new job printed to the
printer.


Let us know.
 
It works, Thanks!!
