Hi,
How can I do this? I want to create a sort of printer driver such that when
installed, it is listed as a printer, however, when the user uses it (selects
it), instead of printing the file I am able to save what they are printing.

Thanks

There are several such drivers already. Have a look at
http://www.pdf995.com/ for an example which prints to PDF.
 
Hi,
Thaks for the reply. That I know. I don't need to convert to PDF. I want to
do other stuff with the print file.


Thanks

Then you'd need to tell us more about what you really want the file to
contain.

I'm not sure how feasible it is to write a printer driver in .NET
though, to be honest.
 
I basically want to, when someone clicks print from say, a word document, and
the print dialog pops up, they would select my so-called print driver (or
virtual printer) then select print. My driver will then collect the print
file and basically store it.

Well, users can already do that very easily by selecting the "FILE"
port with their normal printer driver.
