I'm trying to use a HP LaserJet/Epson to FAX program with OS/2.  The link I'm
currently missing is a method for capturing printer output to a file.  This
seems trivial since the original file gets spooled anyway.  If I could convert
the spooled file I'd be fine.

It shouldn't matter, but I also need to be able to keep the description file
associated with the spooled file.  I'm using the filename parameter to determine
the FAX destination.

I intend to use this primarily with Word and OS/2, but I want a method that will
work in place of the standard system print queue driver so that I could use it
from any OS/2 (or DOS) application.

Thanks!
