Printer driver to print to a bitmap

Hello,

I am looking for a decent printer driver that instead of printing to a
printer, sends the output to a bitmap file (could be a BMP, TIFF, or
JPG). I am looking for one that has the most flexibility (to be able
to print to a particular drive/path, serialize the bitmap names, and
also print to customized resolutions and color depths (i.e. printing a
screen would produce a bitmap of 800x600 in size).


Thanks for any tips or recommendations.

Regards,

Mike McWhinney

This can do ghostscript for you. Of course you have to first produce
postscript file (in windows select print to file on some postscript
capable printer).

Mike,

You can get such a driver from :

Yes I have used Ghostscript before to output BMP/GIF files as well as
simple PDF files. However, GS relies on a lot of support files. I
cannot install all of these support files on the machine that
initiates the printing. What I am looking for is a USB driver to
redirect output to a bitmap file, or simply a driver that will print
to a bitmap file instead of a printer.
