Amusingly I only want it because it allows you to print to file easily with two default printers that it sets up for you, one for PS and one for PDF, and it puts them in your home directory. Very nice and convenient, but it doesn't do it.
I read all the blurb, including the bit with XPSERVERLIST, but that is where its supposed to be and doesnt help.
I don't actually have a printer - I only want the 2 print-to-file queues, so I don't have lp. Same on the other box where it does work.
