If that's the way they work, okay.  The ones I saw in the past worked by 
capturing LPT1 output from a DOS program and then passing it along to 
Windows drivers, and those solutions don't work for Windows programs.

However, if you want to go the "print to a file, and then have another 
program print it", why not just use the included FP2RTF configuration?
