<br />
I&#039;m using PageMaker 7 on G4 in OS 9.2.2, and am getting an error when exporting PM files to PDF - &quot;Cannot open the Distiller. This may be caused by not enough virtual memory....&quot; or similar. I adjusted memory settings on PM and Distiller 5 but same issue. I&#039;ve been using the Acrobat PPD. Not sure if this is really a memory issue or some setting is off somewhere. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" />]]></content:encoded>

After installing the printer on my iMac, I am able to print from all apps except the Classic apps.  When I try to print from the Classic environment, the Chooser does not recognize the new printer, nor does it let me add the printer to the Chooser.<br />
