314944 2005-01-17 01:14:00 Hi pepol!
Is it possible when on a webpage (or any thing for that matter) that a print button on it, to print to a file AND NOT TO THE PRINTER?
Could this be to do with the legendary 'virtual printer' I keep hearing about, but just keep missing all the details. Then the peope go quiet when I ask them about it.
Is it just a case of 'redirecting' the file to be printed? Or are ther drivers I can download to accomodate this? What is this bit of lint in my navel? Opps sorry bit off subject there, sorry.

Regards,

The Cell
