Printer question?

I have a HP Pavilion running Vista, and a Konika-Minolta PrintPro 1400W printer. Whenever I go to print a project I get a popup asking for the output file name in the Print to File box that pops up. I don't know what to put in the print to file box or the output file name. Is there a way to bypass this option?

    Not sure what the tabs are in Vista's print drivers, but in XP you'd need to go to the "Ports" tab and set it to the proper port. The only reason you are getting the "Print to file" prompt is that you have the port set to a file instead of USB or LPT1.
