Re: Virtual Printer

Can you point me in the right direction?

More context is needed for that.
If you only need to save the text to a specific folder/file, then it can be as simple as open/flock/print/rename/close.
If the text needs to be formatted for printing, or an actual printer needs to be emulated, try one of these results of a CPAN printer search.
Give us what you exactly need, and what you already wrote, and an answer might be found.

Software speaks in tongues of man; I debug, therefore I code.
Stop saying 'script'. Stop saying 'line-noise'.

This needs to run on a windows server. My intent is to add a virtual printer as an actual printer to the server and share it on the network. When I print to the printer, it takes the text and dumps it to a text file on a network share.	[reply]

a quirk answer would be that you can add a new printer with the Generic/Text Only properties. Everything printed is dumped to a text file. but i think what you look for is your service to monitor the printer queue on the server and intercept the raw data. then redirect it to anywhere	[reply]
