I just downloaded AdobePS 8.5.1 (which I understand replaced PSPrinter. I do not
believe the driver and OS numbers are related, but maybe someone in the know can
say). It works well so far with OS 8.5.1 (PSPrinter crashed my system every
time). One thing I did notice however is that it seems to have replaced my
PrintingLib with an older version than the one that comes with OS 8.5 -- and now
my LaserWriter 8 (v8.6) doesn't work. If I don't mind living without the
LaserWriter driver, everything else works great. BTW, I tried running AdobePS
with PrintingLib (v8.6). No luck. Anyone else have a related experience?
