Thanks, so if I understand you correctly (and francesco) I print to file on
my laptop (which is NOT hooked up to a printer at that time) take the file
to my desktop (which is hooked up to a printer) and go to the command prompt
and type filename.prn prn (where filename.prn = the real name of the file)
But do I also have to have the generic text driver installed as francesco
said?

Boot to DOS and run
Copy filename.prn prn
This will usually also work from a command prompt in windows. The print
format will be correct using the printer that the file was created for. The
"print to file" command is handy if the printer is not available when you
want to print a document, e.g. when the printer is not connected to a laptop
or the printer is out of ink.

printing something. So I decided to print to file to see what would
happen.
Well it puts a .prn file on my desktop. I try to open it but no program
recognizes it. Dooes anyone here know what to do with a .prn file?
Thanks.
