If Print A File only accepts ps, pdf, and text, how do I print my Microsoft Word file?
If you are using a Windows XP machine in a computing lab, you can convert your file to PDF format with Adobe Acrobat Distiller. If you are using a personally-owned Windows XP machine and you do not own a copy of Adobe Acrobat Distiller, you can use the Windows ‘Print a File’ option to generate a file in printer language (.prn) that can subsequently be sent to a printer. To use the Windows ‘Print a File’ option to generate a file that can be sent to the printer via the WolfPrint Print a File Utility, you will need to own a PostScript printer, or you will need to fake that you own a PostScript printer. The following instructions are written assuming Microsoft Word XP and the Windows XP Operating System. The exact procedure may be different depending on which version of Microsoft Word or the Windows Operating System you are running.
