Print To File problem

We have a large print job that we are looking to possibly outsource. It consists of approximately 8000 clients, about 53 pages per client. Each page is an individual Access report with a scanned image as a watermark and the proper controls placed on each page. I have a VB6 app that massages the data, then opens an Access object and generates the reports.

I have a dummy local printer set to FILE: so that I can print each package as a unique prn file. However, each time I run, it asks for the output file name. How can I automate that and provide the name from within VB, so that we don't have to type in 8000 filenames?

Thanks!
