Does anyone know of a good image virtual printers for Windows 7? (Preferably free ...)

I use Gnostice Print2eDoc in Win XP and it works great. Basically, when I buy things over the Internet, I save the email or page invoice as a PDF file, then I print that to a jpg file so I can attach it to an entry in Quicken. However, Vista/Windows 7 changed the print system to be an administrator-level process.  Although Print2eDoc, Virtual Image Printer, and several others I have tried still can be made to work, when you print suddenly the screen goes black and Win 7 pops up a security screen saying a dialog is trying to interact, blah, blah, blah.

I'm primarily interested in outputting either jpg or GIF, since some documents have more than 255 colors and a lot of applications won't take TIFF (or the TIFF comes out quite large.)

(In a way, this can be related to Sesame--Sesame can't view PDF's, etc., directly, but if a document can be converted to images, those could be displayed directly in Sesame.  I'm not trying to do that, but having that capability would make this "not off in the weeds.")

Since it's a personal application only used occasionally, I'd really prefer not to spend $30+, which is what the commercial/shareware packages are going for.

It installs a virtual printer.  I tried looking for compatibility mode but there is no way to set compatibility mode for dll's.

Also, there is some more bad news regarding this.  I spent a good part of last weekend trying out pretty much everything under $50.  The only program I could get to work halfway decent was Free Image Printer.  But it has no way to set defaults for the parameters.  It defaults to BMP at the screen resolution.  So if you want to save in any other format, for each printing you have to click or fill out about eight items.  I didn't try to see what happens with a multi-page document.  (Gnostice just automatically prints multiple images.)

Most of the other programs I found, even the paid ones, offer almost no variation on parameters (dpi, etc.).

I have UAC turned off, so I don't normally get such warnings.  The problem with Gnostice (Acrobat 6, and various other virtual printer programs) is that when the Save As dialog opens Vista/Win 7 intercepts that and starts popping up additional dialogs.  Although it is workable it's a pain.

From what I can see, this will probably be the easiest way under Win 7: The GIMP can be set to run from the command line.  Print to a standard format such as PDF.  Then have a batch file that tells The GIMP to open that file with specified parameters and save each image.

I already have several PDF virtual printers. On my laptop I ran into this problem with Acrobat 6 under Vista so I installed DoPDF for that.

I am mainly converting two types of documents: either email invoices or PDF's (generally of receipts).  I use Quicken, which allows "attaching" an image file to an entry (for instance, I download check images from my bank) but it only allows certain file types and PDF isn't one of them.  I could print to PDF (which I very frequently do--I keep a PDF copy and sometimes a jpg) and then use Paint Shop Pro to open the PDF and then save it as an image.  But the latest version of Paint Shop Pro takes over a gigabyte of disk space, it loads fairly slow even on my new motherboard with 4GB RAM and a dual-core 3GHz processor and a 1.5TB SATA 2 drive partitioned for speed, and it loads multi-page PDFs slow. (I'll start a thread re "partition for speed".)

I'm really extremely surprised--and quite annoyed--that there seems to be nothing on the market at a reasonable price that actually works fairly well.  It's just not that odd a task--"save a document / web page / whatever as an image".
