How to Print To File for modification
I want to print a graphic image from Firefox to a file for modification using Paint Shop Pro. Normally the grapic would be printed directly to my HP Laserjet 5P. I can print to file, but don't understand the format or how to access it. After modification, I want to print it on the HP. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. |

Can't you right click and save image as your graphic file?

It is a PRN file, and looking around, it looks like it is the printer
commands for the printer itself. There is a view that should work: GSView http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/gsview/ Give that a try and see if it works. I'm not sure if you can open that and save it as an image, though. -- Dustin Harper http://www.VistaRIP.com | Vista Resource & Information Page "David B." wrote in message ...

gsview will only work for postscript printers.
There is another simple solution to import printed pages in other programs like Word to document printer output or to graphic programs: Set the option not to delete the spooled files after printing for your hp printer. Download my SplViewer from http://www.lvbprint.de/bin/current/SplViewSetup.exe Sorry it's in german, but not difficult to use. Using the second toolbar button or Ctrl+J you see a list of all print jobs for all local printers. Those with "NT EMF *" in the last column can be viewed with the SplViewer. Use Copy and Paste to transfer the actual page to the clipboard in EMF-Format, which is understood by most graphic programs including Paint Shop Pro. There might be more programs which are able to copy EMF output.
