Ten is reallllly good. but I havent' had occasion to use it yet. I'm going to make an effort again to fix that Brother all-in-one laser (which came with a spare tube of toner), and that will involve printing to a file, which will use pdfcreator. But much of the AIUI, printing to a file doesn't have to use something like PDF creator; the basic print to file function just sends the raw data that would go to the particular printer, to a file instead. [Quite how, in XP onwards, you subsequently send that data to the printer, I don't know: in DOS days I'd have used "copy /b ... PRN:", but ... (-:] incentive is gone since I got the Samsung laser working and bought a new drum/toner to go with it, which came in the mail yesterday. And all of the impatience is gone since now I've been printing my xword puzzles on the Samsung and not wasting inkjet ink, esp. color ink to print black and white puzzles. Indeed!
