Printing to a file (PRN)
You will sometimes need to save the print data as a file. You can print the document to a file instead of routing it directly to a printer. The document is saved with the printer formatting, such as font selection and color specifications, in a .prn file that can be printed on another printer.
To save a print job as a file:
1.Check the Print to file box at the Print window.
2.Click Print.
3.Type in the destination path and the file name, and then click OK. For example c:\Temp\file name.
