Hello!

Thank you!

We are using Windows XP Professional on our nearly 200 clients. I hope that this os supply a original postscripter, too.

Where can I find the files for this original postscript driver on a Win2K or WinXP System?

Is it possible to handle these files like the Cups driver, which means, that I have to put these driver files into the print$ from samba?
