PageMaker 6.0 uses the installed PS driver - but also creates some 
of it's own PS to generate the print file. Inspite of all the various
speculations on other potential failures, the problem is probably 
related to the fact that for PM 6.0 - a PPD file is essential. The 
original poster indicated that she didn't have one for her non-Adobe 
printer.

One approach would be to use Microsoft's PScript driver to install 
a generic sort of PPD - say for the Apple LaserWriter 380 printer - 
The drawback is that the printer won't have it's correct name - and
the PPD might not accurately reflect the ROM fonts in her printer - 
but it should work fine for downloadable fonts. If this doesn't work 
- she needs to call tech support - where they can help her isolate the
real problem.
