Hello,

Is it possible to change the default printer name "Generic Postscript Printer" defined in DEFPRTRTR2.PPD in order to make appear another name as default during installation ?

My need is to install programmatically the PS driver with a minimum user interaction. Users would only have to click on "Next" buttons.

Thank you very much.

You should be using the actual PPD for your printer. That will have
the correct name in it.  The generic driver is rarely suitable for
anything.

Thank you Aandi,

But how can i make the Driver installer *automatically* take in account a PPD file which is not the default one ?

The AdobePS installer is not designed for automation. To install a
driver without prompts you need to prepare an INF file and use the
Windows API.
