Many thanks to all of you who responded. One of the things I always liked about using Frame was the community of users: generous and helpful. After a long absence, it's nice to see that fact has not changed.
In the end, I fear that I will give up on using Frame for this project, as much as it pains me to do so. I use Acrobat much more than I use Frame, and I can't un-install version 9.5 just to print a PDF. I can't fathom why Frame can't handle "printing" to a newer PS printer, but that's the situation and I can't change it. Many thanks for your help--best wishes, EOS Jeremy H.
