PPD READ ME - Adobe Illustrator 5.5 

OBTAINING PPDs
-------------------------
Adobe Illustrator 5.5 includes a wide variety of PostScript Printer 
Description (PPD) files which are installed in 

  <installdir>/Illustrator_5.5/Illustrator.MacFiles/
        Separator_and_Utilities/PPDs_Folder  

and also available in the corresponding directory under the Adobe
Illustrator Working Directory under your home directory.
These PPD files are used when creating color separations using the 
Adobe Separator program. If you plan on creating separations and the 
PPD file for your output device is not included with those that 
come with Illustrator, there are several ways it can be obtained:

PRINTER VENDORS: Most PPDs are available through printer manufacturers. If a 
PPD was not included with your printer please contact your printer 
manufacturer for the needed PPD.

ADOBE WEB PAGE: Adobe now offers PPDs on its world wide web site
http://www.adobe.com

ADOBE BBS: Adobe now has its own bulletin board. You need a modem and a 
terminal emulation program (i.e. MicroPhone*, WhiteKnight*, etc.) that 
supports VT-100 or ANSI emulation. Dial (408) 562-6839 and follow the 
prompts to register and receive a password. PPDs are located in the PPD 
conference on AdobeUs bulletin board.

PPD files are also available on the Internet via anonymous ftp. The name of 
the archive server is:

  ftp@adobe.com  (IP Address: 130.248.1.4). 

When you connect to this machine, login as anonymous and type your Internet 
electronic mail address at the password prompt.

Once on the ftp server, you can find the PPD files in the /pub/adobe/PPDfiles 
directory.

NOTE: Adobe only distributes PPDs for Adobe PostScript printers.
