Lee,

Yes local printer would be your choice.
Local printer --> when you have a printer connected at your local pc
Network printer --> when you want to print to a printer on another pc in the network

You can choose as ppd file "generic" which will do the job fine. If you create ps-files for a printer then you may ask him if you need to use the ppd of the printer (imagesetter, proofer, ...).

- During the add printer wizard you must select as port "file". By default "lpt1" is selected.
You can also change it afterwards:
- Start / Printers / Right click on the specific printer / select properties / go to the tab ports --> select "file"
- Or when you have chosen "lpt1" during setup you can still choose "print to file" during submitting at printtime in the print dialog box in the general tab.

Hope this helps...
