The appearance of this dialog box changes depending on the type of document to be printed. For graphic documents only, the Options tab is also displayed.
General Tab
Printer

If this box is checked, printing is sent in a file instead of to the printer. Before you start printing, a dialog box is opened in which you can specify the file name. This option is useful when you need to print the file from a different location.
