The post from Dov concerning the Universal Driver and Win2K problems says the AdobePS5.x driver won't install under Win2K, yet I find that it *is* installed. I've found both the AdobePS5.22 and the PSCRIPT5.1.2 drivers although they are in separate folders.

I'm a little confused by this. Did things change since that post was written in 2001?

I installed all my network printers using the AdobePS Universal Driver Installer and find that I cannot change to the PSCRIPT driver because it doesn't show in the list of drivers.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

George

Nothing has changed. Depending upon how you ran the Adobe Universal Windows PostScript Driver Installer may in fact place a copy of the AdobePS 5.x driver on your system. That is very different from �installing� the driver, i.e., creating a PostScript printer driver instance that uses that driver with a PPD on your local system. Most likely, the AdobePS 5.x driver was placed on your system if you indicated that you might want to share a driver instance with a client running Windows NT 4. The only other possibility would be if you upgraded a Windows NT 4 system to Windows 2000 without doing a clean install or if you installed a copy of Adobe PressReady on your system. In either of those cases, in fact the AdobePS 5.x driver would actually be active.
