I have a unique problem, I'm trying to find out why we are having problems printing to a Linotype-Hell Quasar Level 2, still running NT3.5.1. as the RIP workstation. The main problems started when we Installed the latest Adobe products on the Win98SE. (Acrobat 5, Illustrator 10, Photoshop 7) My thinking was Acrobat 5 installed the latest Level 3 driver, which I believe is not compatible with the RIP workstation. So I downloaded the 4.26 version of Adobe Postscript Printer. But on install it asks to replace an newer file with an older. Can I replace AdobePS4.DRV version 4.50.034 with AdobePS4.drv version 4.26.0.102 and still retain compatibility with Acrobat 5 as well as 2 Postscript Level 3 copiers we use as Proofing machines?

Absolutely NOT! Acrobat 5 requires the driver version that it installs. Plus it fixes a number of bugs. What �RIP Workstation� requires a retrograde driver version? Check with the Tech Support folks for that RIP Workstation. - Dov

I have already confirmed that the "Delta" workstation is not compatible with the NT 5 family (Win2K & XP) which BTW we have a new Win2K Pro machine sitting idle waiting for the upgrade for our RIP ($12,000) I'm just looking for a reason why we are having problems. The main problem is, printing from the Win98SE machine the print file then goes to the Delta RIP workstation (NT 3.5) then to the Delta RIP. At the point of recieving the print file the "Delta" Workstation actually shuts down, as in powers off. Since AdobePS4.drv version 4.5 is the Win98 version of the NT 5 family of drivers I thought I could downgrade to 4.26 which was on the Win98SE machine before Acrobat 5 to resolve problems in outputing film from various programs. It has been a pain in the neck to keep hounding the boss to spend the money & update to the newer "Delta" Level 3. And in the mean time be Tech support for the crippled PC in the midst of the MAC design department. Most of my problems would go away if they would stop trying to save money & just spend it for a more productive workflow. Thanks for the reply

Robert, There is absolutely NO relationship between the AdobePS 4.x and 5.x drivers. Don't make any such assumptions. I most strongly doubt that if the Delta workstation works with AdobePS 4.2.6 that it won't work with later versions. - Dov
