Virtual Printers Anyone
I am looking for a virtual printer.
Anotherwords, I would like to be able to print-to-file using the HPLaserJet4000 driver
(PCL 6) and then view that file with a program, before sending it to the printer.
Not to waste my time or yours...I know how almost every program has a print preview...but my print jobs are being sent via TCP/IP and are going thru the windows spooler...so I can setup a print-to-file driver (PCL 6) and then view the files before printing them.
Now I know I can view the PCL6 code...but I want to actually see how it will print out.
Does anybody know of any programs that can read PCL 6 files?
Thank you for your time.

Not possible...
Well, it is possible, but for a viewer to show you a print preview, it would have to be coded specifically for your printer. PCL code formats it, but inside that you will have printer code. The only possible way to get an app like this is if your printer manufacturer made the viewer program. I know for a fact HP has made nothing of the sort, so it cannot be done unless you know a lot of C++, PCL, and you have rights to edit HP's driver code https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2000/09/1.gif
