Sending PostScript to Windows Printers   
Hi all,

I have a program which emits PostScript. It used to send the PostScript 
directly to the printer, so the printer must be PostScript capable. We want 
this program be able to print to any Windows printer without too much 
changes. So my question is - is there a way to ask Windows to convert 
PostScript and send to printers? That will help us because we do not rewrite 
the priting code.

Thanks in advance.

There's not built in facility to do this. There are, however, third
party tools to do the conversion. RedMon (part of the Ghostscript
project) can create a virtual printer that takes in PostScript data and
prints it out on a Windows printer. There are probably other similar
tools out there.
