Postscript printer
Hi,
I need to generate a postscript file from my MS Word doc file. For this, I've installed the generic postscript printer driver from the Adobe side. After installing, I can select this printer in Word but the driver has only the option to print the document in a "Printer File" *.prn. Is this the same as the Postscript format "ps"? If not, any ideas what is wrong and why I can't create ps files? Regards, Christian |

If not, any ideas what is wrong and why I can't create ps files? There is nothing wrong. Windows principally assigns filetype .prn to Files created by print-to-file, regardless of their content. If the .prn file was created by a PostScript printer driver, you can simply rename it to .ps, or when prompted for the filename, enter the full name including the extension in quotes, e.g. "printfile.ps". This works for WinXP. In older windows versions windows insists on adding a ".prn" nevertheless so you would then get "printfile.ps.prn". -- email me: change "nospam" to "w.hennings" Wilfried Hennings c./o.
