Installing PDFCreator v0.8.1 RC)
<https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=57796> would enable
him to print to PDFs as with any printer.

Assuming he doesnt have a print server - that could take the whole printer
offline :)

Another option would be to install a PDF printer.. Print to that, then print
the PDFs when appropriate?

  A large portion of my day is spent walking to and from a network
  printer, and if I don't get there in time it goes into the inevitable
  pile that I have to sort through and get my stuff.
  So I was playing around with the "print to file" option. I thought I
  could create a folder on my desktop called PRN. Then when printing
  whatever I needed, just save it to that folder. Then when ready I could
  just print them all.
  After googling a bit the only stuff that came up was with a local
  printer connected to LPT1 etc. so I figured I could just substitute the
  network address for the printer but when I do, it just creates a PRN
  file in the folder.
  The line I am using is:

  COPY my_chart.prn LPT1 /B changed
  to
  COPY my_chart.prn //networkprintername /B

  Any ideas??
