Quoting:

Other> Save settings: saves the settings and preview when Epson Scan is closed and is usually convenient.

The button for File Save Settings to the right of the Scan button determines the folder, file name, and format for the output files. The Location section of the dialog box specifies where the output files are written. I normally select the Other button and then Browse to identify the folder.
The output file names are limited to a prefix and number. The prefix can be set to identify the image. The added number is usually not needed and can be removed by renaming the file after it has been created.
The field for Image Format includes the usual TIFF and JPEG. Note that plain TIFF should normally be used for archival scanning, not the Multi-TIFF option.
The checkbox for "Show this dialog box before next scan" can be checked to give the opportunity to set the output file name for each scan. As noted above, the prefix part of the name can identify the image.
The checkbox for "Open image folder after scanning" can be checked to provide the opportunity to examine the final image and rename the output file.

after chose print, clear (print to file) check box

i installed a lexmark printer and when i try to print it ask for an output file name. and the print to file box is not checked..which would mess it up if it was checked.

Are you using Adobe Writer, try un installing and reinstalling

or download a app like freepdf

let me know, cause the solution depends on what software you are using.

It is windows way of storing a document for printing later.

It will save the job you want to print at another time but ask you for a file name so that you can give it a name you will remember.

It will do this if it is set as the DEFAULT printer.

To change that and provided you have a printer installed then go to CONTROL PANEL / printers and faxes / then right click on the printer you want as the default and on the box that opens will be that exact option, click it and you are done. it wont ask you those questions again.

ren current.name new.name

this would rename a file called current.name to the name new.name

Sounds like whatever your printing to is set for print to file or your default printer has changed.

Go into the control panel, select printers, select the printer that you want to use and press the right mouse buttons for properties.

Select the ports tab and make sure that the file box isn't checked and that the USB port is (or whatever port your printing with).

Press ok

Make sure that you printer is set for default printer.

when i push to print it says output file name what is that?
