Our company's deployment of Acrobat 6.01 has been held up by an annoying
problem.

We have a number (over 150) HP5000 printers, and certain print jobs fail or
hang up that model of printer.
(this problem has been around for a while)
They have determined that the root cause of the problem is that the
postscript emulator for level 2 postscript in that model of printer has a
bug in it (I think it is related to managing color spaces or half toning).
However, if the users send the print job using level 1 postscript it seems
to work OK. 

What has stopped the deployment is that Acrobat 6.01 does not support level
1 postscript as a print option. (whereas 4.0 and 5.0 do)

Replacing the printers is not an option at this time. 

Does anybody know of a way of getting level 1 postscript from a acrobat 6.0
print request? (maybe through a plugin a modification to a driver perhaps,
or a level 2 to level 1 converter?)

Thanks
