Subject:	SCOUG-Help: virtual printer driver ?

Content Type: text/plain

I need a "virtual printer driver" which will create a bitmap image of a
printed page. In other words, I want to print to the "Virtual" printer
and have it create a file somewhere which, if opened in PMView or
somesuch, looks exactly like what would otherwise have ended up on
paper. (The equivalent of a "screen capture" but this is a "printed
page capture".)

The spooler files aren't bitmaps so I can't use them. (Lurkers: The
spooler files contain the streams of control sequences and data for
particular printers, but they don't contain a graphical image of the
page.)

The following search string in Google gives results but if someone can
point me in the right direction . . .

virtual printer driver "os/2"
