I need to be able to print a Visio document on a machine that doesn't have Visio (or a Visio viewer) installed. I know one way of doing it is converting to a PDF but I'd like to do it without having to install anything on the machine. One way I am considering is the 'Print to File' option. I would use 'Print to File' on the Visio machine, copy the file to the non-Visio machine and then just print the file. Will this work if both machines have their own printer which are both the same model?
Hi Chris, How about saving the Visio drawing to a GIF or JPG file format? Select Save As.. from the Visio File menu and look in the Save as Type field in the dialog box for the graphic type. Another option, if you are using Visio 2003 and the non-Visio machine does have Office 2003 installed on it, is to Print to the Microsoft Office Document Image Writer Format. The Microsoft Office Document Image Writer is a virtual printer driver that is installed with Office 2003. To verify that it is installed on the non-Visio machine, select Start | Printers and Faxes. I hope this helps. -- Dick Hamilton Microsoft Corporation This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
