I now have it working on NT/2000. But in 9x/ME, it complains that
pdfprinter.PPD not found. I checked WINNT40\0\, pdfprinter.PPD is in there.
I even made duplicates like PDFPRINTER.PPD and pdfprinter.ppd, copied the
file to a local disk, but 9x/ME still cannot find it. Could this be a bug
somewhere? I don't know why I'm seeing all these strange cases 8(
