Adobe printer driver - N Up page border in Win XP

[Guest]

Hi all,

Recently upgraded from Win 98 to Win XP and re-installed the
appropriate Adobe printer driver.

In the Win 98 version of this driver, you can do N-up printing, and
you could turn the printing of the page border off (vis a check box if
I remember correctly).

The Win XP version allows N-up printing but I can't see any way of
turning the page border off. Can this be done?

Unfortunately, you didn't reinstall the Adobe printer driver.

As of Win2000, Adobe has proclaimed the Windows driver (co-developed by
MS and Adobe) to be "good enough" and that Adobe would not be bringing
out their own driver for Win2k or XP.

Prior to that, with Win95/98/ME, Adobe *did* produce their own driver,
because they said the MS version (again, co-developed with Adobe) wasn't
good enough.

So anyway, even though you downloaded the installer package from Adobe,
all it did was put your PPD file into WinXP and call out the WinXP PS
driver to match it all up. It's just like using the MS .inf file to
install the driver.
