The only "Device" options available for me under my "PDF" printer is Output Resolution.

Yeah, looking at it again, I have the same "PDF" printer on my Ubuntu machine, as opposed to "Adobe PDF."

I just discovered that one of the choices of printer in OOo on my Ubuntu machine is "PDF" -- which, upon testing, actually produced a PostScript (.ps) file, which is what I wanted. Bloody confusing terminology!

I hadn't paid much attention to this before, and didn't realise that a "PDF" printer would do the job -- until I got thinking about Gary's mention of "Adobe PDF" as a printer driver, something which I had forgotten about until this discussion today.

Thanks, Sak, for the instructions about installing specialised drivers. I'll go through them carefully a bit later.

See what options are present, especially if there is anything preset for PDF/X-1a:2001 or the others that are preset on the Adobe printer file. That would much simplify some POD issues.
