How can one configure, on XP, a Generic printer with
Text/Only to a fixed name and eliminate the request
during the print operation. I need to print to disk and
then process the file. Using a fixed name allows me to
automate the full process.
 
Create a Local Port with the name of the file you want and set the Printer
to print to this filename.
Printer Properties / Ports Tab / Add Port / Local Port / New Port /
c:\temp\somefilename /

The file will be overwritten each time a job is submitted to the queue.
