Generic Colour PostScript PPD
Abandoned Freeware


You can print to a Text file in Windows 2000 by using the built in 
generic text-only printer and locating it on port "FILE".  However, if 
you want to print a PostScript file (*.ps), which is necessary if you 
are printing complex graphics, then you need to install this Generic
PostScript Driver from Adobe.  

Note: If you choose the Generic PostScript Printer that comes with this 
PostScript Driver, you will only be able to print in Black&White.  To 
print in color, you will need to use the Generic Color PostScript printer
definition file "defpscol.ppd".  


INSTRUCTIONS:
* Find the file winsteng.exe, and double-click on it to run it.
* Accept the licence agreement.
* Choose the connection type Local Printer (rather than Network Printer).
* When asked to choose a port to connect the printer to, choose FILE: 
  (rather than COM1:, COM2:, etc.).
* When asked to choose a printer model, you can choose the option 
  Generic PostScript Printer, but if you would like to print in colour as 
  well as black and white, click on the Browse button and browse to the 
  location where you have "defpscol.ppd" and choose Generic Colour PostScript.

Note: When you print the file, a dialog box will appear asking for the 
output filename.  You will need to add a full path (directories must exist) 
and an extention of ".ps" to the filename (example: \myprintjobs\TEST.ps).  
In order to view your *.ps file, you will need a PostScript file viewer 
such as "GSview".
