To enable the ability to print to a file in Windows NT, open the Printers folder Start / Settings / Printers. Double-click Add Printer . Select Local Printer and click on Next. Select Generic from the printer manufacturer list, and Generic/Text Only from the printer list, then click on Next. Select File from the ports list, and click Next to add the printer. Once it is added, go into its Properties ( right-click on the printer icon and select Properties ). Click the Paper tab, and change the paper setting to continuous, no page-breaks . It may say unavailable - ignore that and select anyway. Print to file capability is now available. When you print to a file, Windows NT will prompt you for a file name. I suggest you create a folder for these files. I have found that printing web pages does not work when sent to this printer. You get the url to the page printer, not the page.
