Only time will tell.... I think you mean PostScript or pdf, not postfix or pdl, but the symptoms were a simple failure to print. It would simply pop up a message saying it could not print to the printer. It's been a long time, and I gave up trying to solve it a long time ago, but basically, I spent 8 hours on the phone with Dell support in New Dehli or where ever it was, and spoke to 4 different people until I found someone whose accent wasn't too thick to understand and finally gave up. No, I wasn't too thrilled about it, but I figured that's windows. So, every time I see something about Windows administration, security or otherwise, I flip through or ask about this old headache. Sorry to have eaten so much time on this list. Thanks to those who have offered up pointers. To be honest, I don't care enough to waste much time with it. I don't use that machine much anyway.
