How to get the Genric Universal PS Printer to print in color to a file in order to create a PDF ? There is no color management tab at the top in properties. Prints B&W, however, just fine.

You don't!

If you are creating PostScript for distillation into PDF, you use the AdobePDF PostScript printer driver instance that is automatically installed by Acrobat 6 when you install the product. The "Generic PostScript" PPD used with a "Generic PostScript" driver instance defines a monochrome printer with very limited capabilities, i.e. it is useless for almost anything. It was not designed for producing PostScript for production of PDF.

Thanks very much for your interest in helping me. What I have is only Acrobat Distiller 4 which came with Page maker 8.x. So, I need to print the file first into PS format so that then I can create the PDF with Distiller 4. Thus I need to produce that PS file in color.

In that case you need to use the PPD for Acrobat Distiller 4 to generate the
postscript.  It should be called Adist40.ppd.  A copy of it should have been
placed in your system ppd directory when you installed PageMaker.  Search
for it and copy it to PageMaker's PPD folder if it isn't there already.
