I run WinXP and I had a printer driver for "Adobe" (or maybe it said Acrobat or Postscript something like that) in the Windows Explorer screen which lists printers & faxes.

Since then I have installed Adobe Acrobat Reader and also Photoshop CS. Now the entry for the Adobe driver in the printer list seems to have vanished.

Strangely, when I want to print a document from Acrobat Reader it seems to come up with something which does look like an Adobe printer driver screen but I think it is just a menu from within the Acrobat Reader application.

Do I need to re-install an Adobe printer driver from here:

Or would that overwrite some printer capability in Acrobat or Photoshop and make things worse?

I have Adobe Acrobat Ver 5.05 and I uses an Hp Printer for all my printouts. To my knowledge, I do not have an Adobe printer driver. I did have to download a special printer driver from HP to print PDF files. Maybe you can go to your vendor site and see if any downloads are available for PDF files.
