| | problems printing to a file in Vista I have set up a generic postscript printer by using the generic postscript printer driver and then checking FILE: Print to File in the Ports part of the printer properties. When doing this in all previous windows systems, when printing to this "printer", a file requester would pop up asking me to type in a file name, and then the printer job would appear as a postscript file saved to the hard drive. In Vista, I have never been able to make this work. After I type in the file name and press return, an error box pops up (title in the titlebar reads Local Port) with the following message: Could not open the file: Access is denied. I'm assuming this has something to do with UAC. But short of turning it off, surely this must be a way to print to a file. But, nothing I try seems to work. Any ideas? Thanks, Howard |
