Guest Emmanuel Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 Hello, I am looking for a solution to define a "virtual postscript printer". This "virtual postscript printer" woud in fact start a program of my own which will modify the PostScript file and then send the modified file to a real postscript printer. I manage to do so with RedMon 1.7 that I loaded from internet, but wonder if any windows server 2003 integrated solution exist. If anyone could help ? Thanking in advance.
Guest Dusko Savatovic Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 Re: redirecting printer to a program You can redirect printer port to a file. Just define a PostScript printer (say HP Color LaserJet 2500 PS) and connect it to a file port. You will end up with Postscript file. I just tried it and it works, the result is in attachment. The only drawback is that each ime you want to print to this "printer", user is prompted to supply destination file name. I guess this could be overcome with some scripting.
