Hooking the Print To File filename

[Paul Champan]

I create a print job in .NET which is a virtual postscript printer device,
and is redirected to file. A dialog popups up asking me for a filename when
I send a print job to this device.

I want to

1) hook this so that I can supply a default filename, maybe even suppress
the dialog altogether (dont know if this is possible)

2) Retrieve the destination filename of the print job, I need to do a
second pass on the resulting postscript file in my application.

Thanks for any advice

Paul,
We have a product called Virtual Port Monitor that installs
as a printer port and redirects the print stream to file,
naming the file automatically. It has a post-print application
feature that you could use for the second pass processing.
