I can't add local printers to the machine (disabled by an administrator), just network ones. So I'd need to find a PS printer on the network that I have permission to connect to ('doze wants a permissable connection before it will add the printer). > Once you print to a file using PS file format in windows, you can move > to a Linux box and do your trick with EPS.

That makes 1 less step (No > large OpenOffice to start). Yeah, but like I said I can't add the printer. I'm told that there are only a couple of API calls involved in saving the clipboard to a windows metafile, and there are tools for converting WMF to EPS, but I'm not really up with windows API stuff, so I think I'll stick with what I've got. It does the job, slowly but surely.
