My problem is similar to the one posed in thread697-879638 but as far as I can tell nobody was able to answer that one either...
I am attempting to print from a Win98/SE computer to the printer connected to an XP machine (home version). I am unable to see the printer (or shared folders) even...
John,
the problem has been solved... my trouble was the result of my PostScript driver not being set to the FILE: port (because one did not exist). Creating one was easy, once someone told me how (see thread779-641109). I reconfigured the PostScript driver to use the FILE: port, deleted &...
Wow, you're right... I tried once adding a "local port" and naming it "File" but it didn't work (maybe I spelled it wrong, or left out the colon or something)
Anyway, as you advised, I added a "local port", named it "FILE:" and voila! I have a...

I'm searching microsoft support pages to find out how to install the port, but so far all the references I've...
John,
I'm following your tutorial instructions, but when I installed the Postcript Printer Driver, I noticed you had it set to "print to file". I don't seem to have any such port. How can I create one, or is it important? (I set it to use LPT1:, which has no printer currently...
Thanks John,
When I have time (probably late tonight) I'll try uninstalling and re-installing according to the instructions in your tutorial.
As for...
>I'm not sure what you mean by that.
... I confess I'm not highly technical, and don't really understand what Distiller is or how it works...
I've seen similar problems to mine in this and other forums, but none of the solutions offered seem to work.
When I try to export to PDF I get the following error messages: "Saving the PostScript output failed" and "Could not print to the PostScript file."
