Barry-
Sorry for the really late reply.

This is the code - I pass in the filename I want to save as and this
function takes the PrintDoc object and sends it to the printer as a
file.

I tried just setting the .PrintToFile property to true, but was not
able to get it to print to a file.

In my printing process, I generate the printdoc object's contents
outside this print function as well as the printer settings and printer
name.  that stuff is pretty basic.  It's this 'reflection' stuff that I
am confused about.

   Public Sub PrintToFile(ByVal Filename As String, Optional ByVal
OverwriteFile As Boolean = True)

       PrintDoc.PrinterSettings.PrintToFile = True
       Dim type As System.Type =
GetType(System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings)
       Dim outputPort As System.Reflection.FieldInfo =
type.GetField("outputPort", Reflection.BindingFlags.NonPublic Or
Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance)
       outputPort.SetValue(PrintDoc.PrinterSettings, Filename)

       Dim printDialogDisplayed As System.Reflection.FieldInfo =
type.GetField("printDialogDisplayed", Reflection.BindingFlags.NonPublic
Or Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance)
       printDialogDisplayed.SetValue(PrintDoc.PrinterSettings, False)

       'now we have to ensure the path exists
       'if not, create it
       Dim DirectoryName As String = "C:\"
       System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(Filename)

       If Not System.IO.Directory.Exists(DirectoryName) Then
           System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(DirectoryName)
       End If

       If System.IO.File.Exists(Filename) And OverwriteFile Then
           System.IO.File.Delete(Filename)
       End If

       PrintDoc.Print()

   End Sub
