So, I have this idea, but I'm not sure if it'll work or if it's even possible.
What Im trying to do is this:
All of our files and reports that I would normally print, Im trying to instead, have these converted to PDF files and savable on our computer network. However, some issues have come to fruition. Our of the service we use, generates the report in a web application, and doesnt give any print options, but instead, just prints to whatever default printer have. Which was fine, but now Im trying to go paperless.
What Im thinking instead is, is there a way for to set up a scanner or scanner/printer combo as default printer, without having it actually print. Then, we would have the scanning software open that would be populated by the report we just attempted to print or send to the scanner. From that scanner software, were able to save or export to PDF. My problem or concern is, would it be possible to set this up? Can a printer/scanner combo be used, but have the printer capabilities turned off? Do you know if printing it to a scanner would result in it showing up in the scanner software?
Any other ideas or suggestions would greatly be appreciated.
