PRINTING TO A FILE (PRN)
You will sometimes need to save the print data as a file. You can print the
document to a file instead of routing it directly to a printer. The document is
saved with the printer formatting, such as font selection and color
specifications, in a .prn file that can be printed on another printer.
To save a print job as a file
1. Check the Print to file box at the Print window.
2. Click Print.
3. Type in the destination path and the file name, and then click OK.
For example C:\Temp\file name.
If you type in only the file name, the file is automatically saved in
Documents and Settings or Users. The saved folder may differ,
depending on your operating system or the application you are
using.
