Setting up a new Pre-Press workstation running Win2000 Pro, I've run into a problem. All documents printed to the Linotype Quasar are postscript erroring. The imagesetter consists of 3 machines, The imagesetter, the Delta Tower Rip, & an NT workstation which I believe is just the printer Que for the Rip.

Reading up on the postscript capabilities of Win2000, this appears on Adobe's Website to download the Drivers, "This version of the AdobePS printer driver does not work with PostScript Level 1 devices, and does not work with Windows NT 3.5x."

Does this mean that since the printer que that is in-line for the Quasar is running NT 3.1 or 3.5, that the printer file that is sent from a Win2K machine is incompatible?

If it is indeed so, can I install an older version of the Quasar printer drivers as well as an older version of Adobe's Postscript Printer on Win2000 & retain the Level 3 for all other printers in shop?

Thank You for any insight.
