we have a difficult situation.

The only way we have of taking data from one system to another is to print 
reports to a printer, scan them, and import them into a new system.  There are 
a 100,000 + records. 

We have no access to any of the setup or controls of the printing computer and 
the computer is not a windows system.  We have no access to the database.  

Is there a way to capture the data between the network cable and the network 
printer with some black box or laptop or something?   In other words I want to 
emulate a laser printer with a black box and capture the output to a print 
file, then I can convert that to plain text.  I want the computer to think it's 
printing to a physical printer instead of a black box.  

Any ideas?
