I was recently given an HP Laserjet 6MP printer with PostScript installed, but my friend wasn't sure of which version of PS it is. Drivers came with the printer and I used the Windows install wizard to place them, but I don't think it did the job, even though the printer is in the list, because when I go to print from Pagemaker 7.0, after selecting the printer, I notice that in the drop-down drivers slot there is only the Adobe generic PS driver and the Acrobat driver listed, of PS drivers.

So my question is two-fold: 1) how can I check the PostScript version on my HP 6MP printer; and 2) how do I go about loading the printer drivers so Pagemaker will see them?

Thanks in advance.
