Hog 2PC Printing

It is possible to print to file from within Hog 2PC. Print as you would on a Wholehog 2 console with a printer connected (see the manual for details), 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 command line - or by printing it from a viewer utility such as Ghostscript, which is freely available at www.ghostscript.com. In addition if you have Adobe Acrobat installed (the full application, not just the free viewer) then you can open the postscript file into Acrobat and save as a PDF.
