What happens if the data destined for the printer is a picture - that
won't work as text.

there are utilities to create images from documents and even a dos tool
prn2file:

but are you sure you want to capture printer spool data to a text file?
if so what's wrong with ticking the print to file box in the print dialog?

more clues needed methinks..
