Re: looking for a Postscript printer file

[Jan Cohen <najnehoc -at- yahoo -dot- com>]

Hi Becky,

I'm assuming you're using at least Acrobat 6.x.  

Using the Windows Search tool, perform a search of your computer for the following file:  

ADPDFX.PPD

where "X" is the major version of Acrobat that's installed on your computer (e.g., ADPDF6.PPD).  Alternately, use a wild card for the search, e.g., *.ppd".  If you've got at least version 6.x, you'll probably find this ppd in an "xtras" sub-directory, somewhere within the Acrobat program's directory hierarchy.

That's the ppd you want to use to create your postscript printer.

Subject: looking for a Postscript printer file

I want to experiment with printing from Word to a PS file and then creating
a PDF with Acrobat, but I have a non-PS printer, and I can't figure out
which file to download from the HP website. I just find it incredibly
confusing. Can anyone point me to a good plain vanilla PS file? Thanks.
