Set default path for Print to File

I have set up TCP/IP services and added a Printer with a FILE port/Generic
Text. When I print to this printer it is required that I enter the path and
file name for the print job if I want to save the job in a specific location:
C:\folder\filename.txt. Is there a way that I can set it up to print to a
default location so the only thing I need to enter is the file name? If I
only enter the file name it saves it in the following location:
C:\Window\system32\filename. I believe this is because the tcpsvcs.exe
program file is located in the same directory. Any help would be appreciated,
thanks in advance!
 
You can create a local port which points to a specific file, just add a
new port, select local port and enter the path for the name.

Alternatively if you want a more flexible solution we have a tool at
www.printdistributor.com which gives you more flexibility when you
print to file.
