Adobe has a generic postscript driver but it sucks a but since it puts %%Page #%% numbers in wrong places making those appear in printouts sometimes. http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/main.html http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=44&platform=Windows http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=44&platform=Macintosh BUT, the best way to print from Xp, is to print directly to lpr. You can do that I think. Win2k allows it at least. Then it will print using printers drivers directly - things like magicfilter can cope with this and it will get though the filter unchanged. I'm not sure about cups though. - Adam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
