Is there a way to have a Generic --> Generic/Text printer configured to always print to a predefined file name? Thanks for any suggestions.
 
Any clues in this article?

"Creating a print to fixed file printer

If you are happy to print to the same file name each time then you can create a fixed file printer which will always send the job to the same file name, overwriting the previous file if there was one. The process is similar to the previous section except this time when we are asked for the printer port we add a new local port and enter the whole path to the file for the port name. Having done this every time you print to this printer the print will be written to the file you entered."

Thanks Linney, that is what I was looking for, but had forgotten exactly how to do it.
