There is a utility supplied with AmigaDOS called CMD (by Carolyn Scheppner
of CATS -- is she still around?) which can be used to redirect output
from your printer to a file.  It is not the printer driver's job to dump
it's output to a file -- but with CMD any printer output can be sent to a
file.  Hope this helps

PS. I'm not sure if AmigaDOS 1.2 came with CMD -- 1.3 does though.
