     Has anybody been successful in re-directing Logitech Paintshow Plus
printout to a file?  

My experience to date:  (PS/2 model 70)

         PSTASH, which works fine with Microsoft Paintbrush, sends
         my system into a deep coma (rebooting with cntl-alt-del
         does not work).
  
         PRN2FILE works sometimes.  However, most of the time I get 
         stray characters superimposed on the figure.  This is very
         frustrating since the problem doesn't become visible until 
         the final stage of printing out.  

         Logitech support has not been very helpful with this problem.
         They say that they have received a few calls regarding this
         matter but will not work on it unless they get more complaints.
         I guess they expect everybody has an HP Laserjet II hooked up
         directly to their PC.


     Are there any other re-direction programs in the public domain?  
Considering the differences between PSTASH and PRN2FILE this might just
be a matter of finding the right combination.
