I need to know how to set up the adobe postscript printer on a Windows 2000 machine. I set it up but when I go to get the 560 driver I pulled off the adobe site it is not there only the default Windows 2000 divers which the 560 is not listed. If I go to the add a printer wizard and select local printer then hit next to browse for the printer and select the create a new port option it lists the apple talk printers. I can see the 560 here but after I select it the select the manufacture and model of  my printer but the 560 driver I got from Adobe is not listed.If I select the have disk option to browse for the file when I go to the Adobe Linotronic folder it does not show the files. 

Please help.

This is how I manage things: 

1. download the Adobe Post Script Driver for win2k from the adobe/other downloads site. 

2. download the ppd's from the same site 

3. excract the ppd's somewere on your hard disc. 

4. run the exe you downloaded first. 

5. when it asks for a ppd browse to the folder where you excracted the ppd's and select the one that fits your need. 

6. after the end of the proces the printer should apear in the printer directory.
