One of our managers requested a utility that would save the contents of
the clipboard to a file (as a Windows metafile, I presume?), and a
corresponding utility to be able to print those files.
He is already bopping back and forth between different applications
using the clipboard, and doesn't want to have to open an application
with a new file, paste in the clipboard, save the file, and re-run the
application later to print it.
Is there something available that would do this for him? Or does
someone have one written they would email me?

It will allow you to also put the contents of the clipboard into a scrapbook (for clip-art like usage). You can also import from a file and copy the image to the clipboard. It understands a number of formats including .msp, .tif, .wmf, .eps. I believe its pretty cheap. I haven't seen it advertised much, though. Here's the companies address: T/Maker 1973 Landings Dr Mountain View, Ca 94043 Another product that will do what you want is Easel. Its shareware (I beleive, forgive me if I am in error). There is a `commercial' version that has more features. Its also pretty cheap ($40 for the whole thimg). You can contact them at: Synergistic Enterprises 8033 Sunset Blvd., #975 Los Angeles, CA 90046 I have no affiliation with either company other than being an occasional user of both.

If you have a development kit, Petzold (author of Programming Windows) provides such a utility. It allows you to save the clipboard contents (and print it, I think) using several formats.
