    Postscript printer driver which can use a PPD?


    I have an old postscript3/PCL6 network printer which on Windows up to 7 was able to use the Adobe Universal Printer driver with a PPD file. (Some magic was involved for W7, as I recall, it had to be installed in some compatibility mode.) However, on Windows 10 that driver just does not work. Run winsteng.exe even in compatibility mode and it throws errors. Has anybody got a link for a W10 driver which can do more or less the same thing - that is accept a PPD file and use it to learn about the printer's capabilities while setting up the printer for use?

    I was able to get this printer on line, sort of, using the "Microsoft PS Class Driver" but that has no configuration options, so no way to tell it about the resolution or duplexing options. The "Xerox global print driver" was able to work with it too, and at least that has a way to turn on duplexing, but the Xerox driver still had no way to load a PPD file, at least that I could find.

    :)

    Postscript Printer Driver will not load


    I need to download a Postscript Printer Driver to enable me to create PDF files from Pagemaker 7 files. Downloads from the Adobe website will not load. Have wasted a lot of time on this - any suggestions?

    Postscript printer driver which can use a PPD?

    Printer with decent driver

    look for printers with PCL / Postscript support .. these languages are standarized and there are drivers for all platforms.
