Can you define another printer, or use the 'Print to file' option?<br />
<br />
You could use Ghostscript to create a Postscript file on some USB device. See <a href="http://www.stat.tamu.edu/~henrik/GSPSprinter/GSPSprinter.html" rel="ugc">http://www.stat.tamu.edu/~henrik/GSPSprinter/GSPSprinter.html</a>

So, what will happen when your printer will fail?

There are lots of software print capture programs. We have a medical unit that prints to a HP Printer but the manufacturer wont allow us to connect it to the network (indeed they have locked down the operating system to prevent us from doing that). We can print via the USB cable to a HP printer. Currently we print the records and then scan them back in onto our networked clinical records system.<br />
<br />
We would like to know if anyone &nbsp;knows of any hardware to capture the output of this printer and save it onto the network as a .jpg or .pdf file so we can grab them and attach the to our clinical system. Having the capture hardware on our network is not a problem.

Networking hardware includes the physical devices facilitating the use of a computer network. Typically, networking hardware includes gateways, routers, network bridges, modems, wireless access points, networking cables, line drivers, switches, hubs, and repeaters. But it also includes hybrid network devices such as multilayer switches, protocol converters, bridge routers, proxy servers, firewalls, network address translators, multiplexers, network interface controllers, wireless network interface controllers, ISDN terminal adapters and other related hardware.
