Print to Encapsulated PostScript File Option Disabled

MORE INFORMATION

To view this option, create a PostScript printer in Print Manager, select this printer, and choose the Properties option from the Printer menu. Next, select the Details button, then select the Job Defaults button, then select the Options button. In the Print To dialog box, the option that indicates a choice of printing to Printer or Encapsulated PostScript File is permanently set to Printer; the Encapsulated PostScript File option is unavailable.

This option was built into previous Windows PostScript drivers to let people generate EPS graphics from any application, including applications like Notepad that do not natively have code to create EPS graphics. This was an important feature in earlier versions of Windows, when few applications could create EPS graphics natively. Today, most people who want to generate EPS graphics use more sophisticated applications that can generate these graphics by themselves.
