No, there is no way to coerce PostScript Level 1 out of
Acrobat 6 or Reader 6.
May I suggest another alternative. Go to Hewlett-Packard and request
firmware upgrades for your 150 printers. You may need to go up to
third or fourth level Tech Support for this, but HP did release
firmware upgrades to these printers that fixed at least some of
their bugs.
By the way, Acrobat produces its own Postscript. It doesn't rely
on a PostScript driver other than for adding device control
information (such as "setpagedevice" commands) and routing the
PostScript to the printer via the print queue.
