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?
