>I think the Adobe driver should be able to be installed from a INF file (and then act processing PPDs, when it is installed). Maybe I'm missing the point. On Windows 2000 the Adobe driver is the SAME SOFTWARE as the Microsoft Driver. It's just a different installer, which allows you to choose a PPD. So, given that the only difference is the installer, if you want something to be installed from an INF file, then use Microsoft's INF based package, rather than Adobe's which exists ONLY to get away from INF files. Clearly someone could create an INF file that referred to the generic PPD. This is possible, but hard work. Why would they do it for the essentially useless Generic driver... it would only encourage more people to install this worthless item (do you get the impression I don't like it...?) Aandi Inston
