Ok I am in a crunch situation. I have to gather a report from a credit card system. The system is archaic and runs on windows. On this software I have to go in for each day since January and print a report ( you can not do this as a batch :( grrrrr some programmer should be shot, twice). I want to print the data for each day to a file and append as I go. This is labor some using windows. Almost impossible.... I can cut copy into a new document but you can see how that could get annoying. I want it in a text file so I can then manipulate it with perl. <-- See on topic :)
Is there some way to setup a print to file printer in windows that will by default append and not ask for a file name? I know how to just set it up with out that criteria but that is of no help to me. If windows can not do this can I setup up a similar print to file printer in Linux using cups. Share the printer using samba and then just have the winbox print to it? If so how. I know this is kind of off topic. But not sure where else to go. And after all it is for perl later. I can figure out the samba portion I just need help with setting up the printer itself in cups. Not to mention I think other people could benefit from this on the list. Thanks in advance.
