How to Fix Windows XP Print to File
The "Print to File" option will allow you to print information directly to a file on your hard drive, which can make saving items like web pages and other non-traditional documents much easier. If your "Print to File" option becomes corrupted, the best solution is to reinstall the program associated with that option (such as Microsoft Office) to your computer, overwriting any error-ridden files and restoring the option to full functionality.
