Print to file from Project

[Steven Velez]

Hi,

We are developing an office add-in in for Project in C++ in which we want to
tell a printer (ours) to print to file and specify the file to print to.

Word's (and other's) API for printing allows us to do this, but we can not
find equivalent functionality in Project. Is it possible to do this or send
out-of-band data in any way (possibly like printer escapes in word) to a
printer from a Project Add-in.

Any help is appreciated.

Hi

I have browsed through all the Object Modal of Project, it did not expose
such a method to do the job.
Also you may try to set up a new printer which will print to a FILE port.
Here is a link for your reference.
