Install a new local printer, and choose to use a driver like the "Apple LaserWriter Pro" (good PS print driver). Don't check the "Print to File" box. But rather point the port to "C:\some directory\Postscript.ps" When you print to this printer it will make a PS file with the name Postscript.ps. You'll just have rename the file after each print to avoid replacing the previous print job.

I'm using XP Pro and am trying to create a ps printer so I can have multiple Access reports printed out and then make into one PDF using RunDirEX. I tried with that driver and with the Adobe PS printer. Trying to configure the port to have it always right to the same file it says no options... any idea how to make this work in XP?
