Couldn't you just map a fake printer to a file - it would then prompt the
user for a location and a name for a bit more control. In other words,
install a HP LJ II driver and send it to a file rather than a port.
Is that what you're looking for?

Subject: W2K Print to file
We have a 16bit legacy application that runs reports to dot matrix printers.
We'd like to redirect this output to a file.
In Windows2000, can I configure an LPT port to redirect to a file?
I've seen previous utilities like Lpt2file and Redirect. Are these still my
best options?
Thank you in advance.
William
