Printing from Hog 2PC

It is possible to print to file from within Hog 2PC. Print as you would on a Wholehog 2 console with a printer connected, and a printer file will be created in your current show disk directory. The file will be named for your show and will be either a postscript file (.ps) or a PCL5 file (.pcl) depending on the printer option you selected. You can then print this file at your convenience by sending it directly to your printer -by copying it to a compatible printer from the DOS commandline - or by printing it from a viewer utility such as Ghostscript, which is freely available at www.ghostscript.com.  Adobe Acrobat Distiller also works well for printing .ps files.

Please refer to the Hog 2PC manual for further information about using the program. For any other queries concerning Hog 2PC, please contact support@flyingpig.com.
