Default Virtual Printer that Works Well With Word

"User needs document to be in an uneditable format."

Why didn't you say so in the first place?

Word documents can be saved as 'read only' (password-protected).

Another easy solution has been a part of Windows for years: Print to the
Microsoft XPS Document Writer.

You can also print to PDF.

It would be good to know exactly how "uneditable" the document needs to be.
Even if you find a way to print to .tiff, that doesn't prevent a user from
using OCR.

I stumbled across the Microsoft Office Document Image Writer.

Works well except that its maximum resolution is 300 DPI. The output
looks pretty crappy as a result. However, 600 DPI would probably cross
the threshold of pretty bad to pretty good.. It's surprising that the
software does not go up that high.
