I have PRN2FILE dated 1988 ! - it was a PC magazines utility.
As the name suggests, it sends printer output to a file.

Used to work well for me but haven't used it in a long while.
This works from DOS which may not be what you have.
If you want a copy (all 1,392 bytes :-) ) email me privately and I'll send
you a copy.
