My new Z65 is working great, however, when I attempted to load Adobe 

      Acrobat I received a installation abort and message: "Acrobat Distiller
      Printer Requires Need to install PostScript Printer" Tech Support Response:
      Lexmark Inkjet Printers do not have the ability to process any postscript
      printer files, as the printer has no processor - it only takes the information
      sent to it from the computer, which does all the image processing for
      the printer. Lexmark does not have any fixes for this issue, unfortunately,
      though you might want to look into software solutions that process postscript
      image files and turn them into high quality bitmaps. Some fonts, like
      Truetype, are 'rendered' with the computer hardware before sending to
      the printer, and will print out correctly. Our printers can only still
      print at the maximum bitmap resolution of the printer, though.

Bob,

If you have Acrobat, then it comes with a PPD (postscript printer
definition) file for the Distiller printer instance. You need to
download the latest AdobePS driver for your platform. Then run the
installer and use the Adist5.ppd (or Adist4.ppd for v.4 Acrobat) to
create the Distiller printer instance. This is a virtual printer used
for making PDFs. You can then print PDFs from Acrobat or Reader to
your Lexmark using the appropriate Lexmark printer driver.

Just install the driver for a PostScript printer. That's all it's
asking you to do, not change your printer.  You can have many printer
drivers listed and don't have to own the printer.

A typical choice of PostScript printer is the Apple LaserWriter IINTX.
Add it in the usual way (Add Printer icon), with your Windows CDROM at
the ready.  Be sure to (a) NOT print a test page and (b) NOT set this
as default.
