SUMMARY
Windows NT 3.1 and 3.5 do not include a Generic/Text Only printer driver or any other NULL port driver that allows you to output pure text from an application that cannot export text on its own.
WORKAROUND
- Use the Generic IBM Graphics 9-pin printer driver.
- Set it to print to FILE.
- Format the document with Printer Font.
This produces a file that contains all the text with only a small amount of control codes. You can then edit the control codes out of the file with any text editor, such as Notepad.
