Yes, that makes sense. I actually meant something like that :-)

OK, maybe you were referring to Microsoft's "abbreviated" PPD files,
or something like that. Maybe things have changed; there was some sort
of difference between Adobe printer setup files and Microsoft ones.

I never installed any separate Lexmark software on my computer.
I just installed the printer through the Add Printer wizard, and
the Print (Setup) dialog I get when I print using that printer
is very different from the "AdobePS" version (many more settings
and a nicer layout). Admittedly, I've never got the "AdobePS"
version to work correctly with the physical printer...

There are lots of LEX*.* files in my system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\3
directory. Maybe the INF file makes the wizard copy all of them so
that the GUI changes when you select the Lexmark printer.

Thanks,
