Ghostview? < http://cm.bell-labs.com/who/wim/ghost/ > There's also a linux version available somewhere... in fact, I seem to remember that the original is a linux program, and the above link is to the Windows port This message has been edited by beuges on May 30, 2001 at 01:14 AM Posted by DuSTman on May 29 2001,06:48
look at < http://www.suntopcorp.com/ >. They have a program called EZprint, which installs as a printer driver and outputs to image..sounds like exactly what you're after. This message has been edited by DuSTman on May 31, 2001 at 12:09 PM Posted by kornalldaway on May 29 2001,09:53

yeah, but it's not that :]The "print to file" option is to output the data stream to a file instead of to the printer, but the file will contain all the necessary command codes to control the printer to make it print that file.. The output file will in fact contain exactly the same data as would be sent down the wire to the printer.. |
