I have just bought a OKI 9200 (Wicked printer), and I need to output the documents I have in pagemaker onto the printer's hard drive. To do this properly, I have to get a .PRN version of the documents. (You get this when you "print to file" in word for example). I have managed to do it, but at the moment, I have to export the document as a PostScript file, take it into acro distiller, open it in acro Reader and print it to file there. There is not very much picture degradation (probanbaly none, if I do it properly), but it seems a little silly, given that one can obviously convertfrom one format to the other.

Lara: we are talking about PM, not about Word ?
Install the available printer, using the option
"Print to File" as a second output device in Win.
(you did it already).
Then for Printing, I know only this method:
Select DOS mode. Input
Copy C:\MyFile.prn LPT1
May may, the code is slightly different, because
I cannot test it actually.
Hope this helps. --G.Hoffmann
