It's an OS thing, not an Access thing.

Just set up a new printer (use any driver you want  - the 
Generic/Text one is as good as any) and configure it to use 
FILE: (Print to File) as it's port.

Or better still, you  can "Add port" and put in a filename as the 
port.

Then set your report to use that specific printer. If you specify 
FILE: as the port, you will get a prompt appears asking you to supply 
a filename. If you set a filename  as a port when you set up the 
printer, the report will be printed to the file without requiring any 
user action.
