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.
