Adding MS Imagesetter Pritner

[Dom]

I am running MS Publisher 2000 on both XP and Windows 98
platforms. neither of which have the MS Imagesetter
pritner installed. I am fairly new to Publisher and our
commercial printer has asked for the layout in
encapsulated postscript file. How can I add the
Imagesetter pritner driver to get the file to the printer?

Any help is appreciated.

I am going try to answer this from memory, The driver may
already me installed, so try adding a printer and point
it to lpt2 or (not sure if that matters) then goto the
generic printers, you may find ms publisher there. It
seems a 2nd way is to load it from the the disk, under
add or remove options. Not sure if it works for w98 but
xp and w2k. I also think I may have actually used the
help dialog menu to locate.

if your printer insists on an eps, then odds are almost certain that they
will drop it into Xpress on a mac and attempt to print from there. Might
even iopen it in AIllustrator...and it they do, it will wipe out any font
information and will probabely screw up the color as well.

find a printer who can use your Pub file.

Not necessarily. Although I take native publisher files, if I get an eps
(properly prepared) I can drop it right into a hot folder on my server to
print.
