I should have added that if you always want to output it to the same location, start the Add new printer wizard, but choose "New port" and specify an output filename as the location, eg C:\TEXTFILE.TXT, then choose the generic/text only driver with a specific filename.
Then, you won't be prompted for that name, and any output will be overwritten with the latest job when you print something else.
This is a handy tip if you want a specific location for automated backup or email attachments etc.
