Thanks for the help, Susi, but I'm afraid it didn't work. I tried to create a new printer. I chose "have disk" and selected the INF file I created from your post. I choose "FILE" as my port and "Don't share". When I click finish, I get the message: Printer driver was not installed. Operation could not be completed. Here's the INF file, with my changes: #############BEGIN############# ; printer.inf ; [Version] Signature="$Windows NT$" Class=Printer Provider=%MS% ; The Manufacturer sections lists all of the manufacturers ; that we willdisplay in the Dialog box [Manufacturer] "My Manufacturer" ; Model sections. Each section here corresponds with an entry listed in the ; [Manufacturer] section, above. The models will be displayed in the order ; that they appear in the INF file. [My Manufacturer] ;!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;replace it by *ModelName (within the PPD) and the PPD name "Acrobat Distiller" = ADIST5.PPD ; ; Installer Sections ;!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;replace My printer by *Modelname and printer.ppd by your PPD name [Acrobat Distiller] CopyFiles=@ADIST5.ppd,PSCRIPT_NT DataFile=ADIST5.ppd DataSection=PSCRIPT_DATA_NT ; ; Data Sections ; [PSCRIPT_DATA_NT] DriverFile=PSCRIPT5.DLL ;HelpFile=PSCRIPT.HLP ConfigFile=PS5UI.DLL ; ; Copy Sections ; [PSCRIPT_NT] PSCRIPT5.DLL ;PSCRIPT.HLP PS5UI.DLL [DestinationDirs] DefaultDestDir=66000 [Strings] MS="Microsoft" ##############END################ After I got this error the first time, I located PSCRIPT5.DLL and PS5UI.DLL and put them in the same directory as the PPD and INF file. I still get the same result. Any other ideas? See any problems with what I did?
