Since WinXP contains already the Adobe Postscript driver you don't need to install the Adobe driver again. The files from Adobe are AdobePS5.dll, Adobepsu.dll and Adobepsu.hlp. The files shipped with WinXP are Pscript5.dll, Ps5ui.dll and Pscript.hlp.

If you install a new PPD with Adobe driver, Adobe's files are copied to Windows but they are not used. Printing to a file and opening the resulting postscript file shows the used driver Pscript5.dll. If you rename and move the Adobe files the resulting postscipt file contains the line AdobeS5.dll.

So the one-click-agreement of Adobe is rediculous.

An instruction how to install printers on the command lin is found here:
 <http://www.windows2000faq.com/Articles/Index.cfm?ArticleID=14539>

Download an INF file from a printer maufacturer and edit it for your needs. So you can make an INF file with all your printers, even for non-postscript printers with software RIPs like EPSON Stylus RIP or other.
