In addition to the other very good answers, there is a third option to use
if you are going to actually print a file on a known printer type. Note
that you *must* use the specific printer for this to work. I use this
method on my laptop when it is not connected to my printer back at the
office and I want to have several "printed versions" of the same document.
TO do this I set up a second identical printer using the "Add Printer" in
the Settings - Printers. Then in the Printers - Details, I set the "Print
to the following port" to "File". Then when I want a print copy, I use
this printer to generate my printer file. Back at the office I open a DOS
box and "copy" the files to the port the printer is connected to:
c:> copy filename.prn LPT1
Just more info....
