I've installed version 5.1.2600.1106 of PSCRIPT5.DLL (generic PS printer driver) for Windows XP. I can use it to print to my physical printer (HP LaserJet 4MV, with PS version 2014.101.45). I then use this generic driver to PRINT TO FILES from various programs (CorelDRAW, Netscape, whatever). I then embed these resulting files (which I name .eps, if it matters) within MS Word, which, amazingly enough, correctly previews them. However, when I then print these composite files to my physical printer (using either default printer driver or generic driver), the embedded PS text downloads (because the printer light blinks) but does not print.

Searching the Adobe knowledgebase, I tried the 328523 fix (updating the PS version number to 2015 in the default PPD file). No improvement.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
