(1) Please note that what you downloaded was actually a driver installer that associates the Microsoft PostScript driver for Windows 2000 and XP with a user-supplied PPD (PostScript Printer Description) file that provides a means of table-driving the driver to produce PostScript appropriate to a particular physical printing device. (2) As such, there really isn't such a thing as a �generic PostScript printer.� What you have done with the driver installer when you create a PostScript printer driver instance for �generic PostScript� is to associate a PPD file for a very simple device with the driver for the port you designate. In this case, the �simple� printer is the equivalent of a monochrome PostScript language level 2 device with very large unprintable margins (at least 0.25") and exceptionally limited paper handling features. (3) If you want to generate PostScript for a particular device, obtain the PPD device supplied by the manufacturer of that device. - Dov
