What's wrong with, for example:

     printer file "c:/path/to/wherever/" { aa { ".txt"

where "aa" contains the filename you want?

Though I would recommend starting processing with PRINTER RESET if you are 
going to use a new PRINTER FILE for every record.  (Or, if you are using a 
FORM command to print, then perhaps ending processing with PRINTER RESET.)
