I have a windows-only (sigh) program that prints maps. It doesn't have a print-to-file option, so I add a "file" printer in windows printer setup. Can any give me a recommendation for a generic (clean) postscript printer driver? My intent is to print to a samba file share on linux and review the postscript print file with gv to select specific pages. The HP driver doesn't make nice postscript. Thanks, Bill

I use the "HP Color Laserjet PS" printer at work where I have a bunch of people set up with a FILE: printer and Ghostscript as an alternative to Adobe Acrobat (they use the PDF-creation functionality only). That's the one recommended by Ghostscript, but I imagine most PS drivers are comparable. Brian J. Conway bconway(at)alum.wpi.edu "LINUX is obsolete" - Andrew S.

The postscript print-to-file driver on Adobe's web site works well, too. -Chuck Confidentiality Notice: This message, including any attachments, may contain confidential information.
