Hello, While working on an INF installer that includes Win95/98/ME/NT4 too, I found some more minor things to fix in GHOSTPDF.PPD: - The value for *LanguageEncoding and *LanguageVersion are of type <StringValue>, so remove the quotes; - Invoking "limitations in certain print managers", the PPD 4,3 Ref recomends to put *ShortNickName before *NickName; - One of the options for *ColorModel is, in the PPD Ref, "Gray" (with an "A"), not "Grey" (with an "E"). I don't know how critical or benign are such "errors", but, IMHO, a PPD producer must "follow the rules" as strictly as possible. ------- About FLSA/FLSE: I initially *thought* these refer to that Z-folded continuous paper used by old desk-sized tractor-feed printers (and by some no so old matrix printers too). From your posts, it seems it's not the case. In this circumstance, creating new <MediaOptions> for these, as you did, is the right choice. The problem remains if FLSA/FLSE should really be the same size or not. However, I see this problem as unrelated to the PPD or the proposed patch for it. The PPD simply reflects GS's available paper sizes as these are currently defined in lib\gs_statd.ps. If one of FLSA/FLSE is incorrectly defined, then the patch that corrects gs_statd.ps will need to make the same change to the PPD too. Sincerily yours, SaGS
