Rich, I think you misunderstood me. Also the way you say it above is very confusing with the mixing of terms. I propose the programs send the data to a special device driver. In theory, this device driver could be named "par". This device driver actually forwards the data into a pipe (it could also dump it to ramdisk, or a temp disk on the hard drive or whatever). The conversion program then picks up the pipe or file and actually send the data to the printer. I hope this makes it clear.
