Hello,
I have a wireless Brother printer in a small network (PC, printer, tp-link router+access point). I can print without any problem. But I can't print to file. I have tried all combinations available ports and connections. How can I create a virtual printer capable of printing to file. I am stuck, I will appreciate your replies and inputs very much.

The most obvious way is to print to file in the application which you are using to create text file e.g. Word, WordPad, browser etc. etc.

Then just use network public shared location to store these files..

 

 

Virtual Printer is software that you download and install on the server machine, which will be pretending true printer for clients.

Client machine and client application connects to server machine, thinking it is true printer, but it is virtual printer, which just stores file on disk.
