Image Writer

[Jim Wood]

I was advised to use Image Writer as a default versatile
printer in Publisher to create PostScript files and PDFs.
Image Writer is supposed to be available under Add
Printers/Generic, but the only Generic printer on my
system is "Generic / Text Only." Can something be
downloaded from somewhere?

Jim,
What version Publisher? Look on the Publisher disk. I simply don't know why it isn't
on your computer. I've had it on my computer since time began so I assumed it was a
Windows thing, after looking around I have concluded it is a Publisher driver.

Well, between your posts I re-installed Office (which took
almost 3 hours for some reason) but to no avail;
everything was the same. But then I saw your other note,
went to the MS site, printed the instructions, followed
them, and, voila... there it is: Imagesetter! How about
that. Many, many thanks! -Jim
