Unless you already have a postscript printer driver installed, follow these instructions. Even if you already have one, you may add another one for pdf purpose only. You don’t need to have the actual printer.
- Click Start -> Settings->Printers or double click My Computer->Printer. Then your printer folder will show up.
- Double click Add Printer
- In Windows 98, Add Printer Wizard window will pop up. (Windows 95 should have something similar.) Click Next.
- Choose Local printer. Click Next.
- Choose a postscript printer driver. How? Choose one with “PS” or “PostScript“ attached to its name. It is a good idea to choose a color postscript printer because you might want to make a colorful PDF file. For example, HP PaintJet XL300 Postscript will do the job. I myself use to use Tektronix Phaser 220i. (There is no “PS” or “PostScript” in it, but this driver helped me first discover how to make postscript files from windows applications; however, the unprintable area for printer is quite large.)
However, I recommend Tektronix Phaser 300i. It doesn’t have a large unprintable area like Tektronix Phaser 220i does
