I created an inf file based on the one you listed and the files I extracted out of the Generic PS driver from adobe and came up with this:

[Version]
Signature="$Windows XP$"
Class=Printer
Provider=%MS%
LayoutFile=layout.inf

; The Manufacturer sections lists all of the manufacturers
; that we will display in the Dialog box

[Manufacturer]
"Adobe Systems"

; 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.

[Adobe Systems]
"Generic PostScript Printer" = DEFPRTR2.PPD

;
; Installer Sections
;
[DEFPRTR2.PPD.NT]
CopyFiles=
DataFile= DEFPRTR2.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"
* *****************************************************

I get an error when I try to add a new printer with it:

The specified location does not contain information about your hardware.

What do I need to change?

Thanks

Tom
