Print to what printer file? The typical printer option would be Adobe PDF for the PostScript file. Is that printer file option included with Writer if one does not already have Adobe Acrobat installed on their systems? I cannot determine that because I already have Acrobat 8 Professional installed here. The typical file extension would be .ps when using the Adobe PDF printer file option. The typical OOo user will not have the relatively expensive Acrobat installed.

Ah! That's a useful clue for me, Gary. Thanks! I definitely don't have Adobe PDF as a choice in OOo on Ubuntu, though I haven't searched around to see if someone has a driver for it that I could add somehow.

I haven't got around to trying to print to PS from OOo on Windows, though obviously if at some point I want to use Acrobat to distill the postscript file, I'll need to use my Windows machine to do it that step... so I might as well do the print-to-PS step there too, where I assume from what you've written that I'll find the Adobe PDF driver as one of the choices. I'll try that and see how it goes.
