I have a dat file that i think was created for a ledger type printer that has information i really need on it. &nbsp;the printer is no longer here.<br />
i would imagine the print driver is something that is very standard like an hp 4 or 5 driver.<br />
does anyone know a tool that can retrieve information from a spool file that no longer has the printer in service

retrieve information from spool file - Critical

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.
