Computer$hell - On Printers

Even if you have no printer attached to your computer it is still possible to print a document from the internet.
Obviously there has alway been an option to print to a file but opening it afterwards or sending it to anyone else and them being able to actually read it is not easy for the average user.

Now I think all of us use "Acrobat Reader" which is a free program from Adobe, it's given away with loads of programs to enable you to read a help file in the "PDF" format.
(Portable document Format)
Now you can get a free PDF printer from some very nice people at http://www.bullzip.com in fact it's the very first product offered on their homepage.

You will get full instructions with the download and will probably require another file from them called "ghost script" gs for short, to make it run. Once you have it installed it you will find in your list of printers a PDF printer and if you have no other printer installed it will be set as default.

How is this going to help you may ask, well if you are, for instance, trying to print a ticket from the internet this will get saved as a PDF to your documents and could be copied to a floppy disk or better still a pen drive for taking to your local friendly person with a printer for hard copy or attached to an email without any worries that no one can read it.

Hope this helps
