Alex:
Do you have URL's for this info, especially at Adobe's site? I couldn't
find it there; but I found:
<http://til.info.apple.com/techinfo.nsf/artnum/n58167>.
I need this info because I'm in a pissing contest (on behalf of a client)
with Epson and their Stylus Color 3000 POstScript printer.
Thanks in advance!
Dan
