I just got Deluxe Photolab and ran into a horrible problem: I want to use the Poster utility, but I don't have a local printer. I normally save things to IFF, convert to PostScript and print at another site. Deluxe Photolab, however, wants to print directly to the printer device selected in Preferences. I need to 1. Make Photolab print to a disk/file, or 2. Have a printer driver that diverts output to a file (preferably the file-name can be specified, but I'll be happy with *anything* at this point). Thanks for any help.. -- J.

This program (available on the workbench disk if not perhaps on the fish disks) diverts output from a port (serial or parallel) to a file. >Thanks for any help.. Sure! >-- >J.
