PPD files

I am using ID CS4. Where do .ppd files go? I am getting some error msgs in trying to print a file now and need to get the correct .ppd files in place. Any help would be appreciated.

The correct ppd file should be selected and installed automatically during the printer installation routine. Are you sure you have the Postscript driver installed correctly?

I just started having this problem today. I have no idea what may have changed with my installation. I thought it may have been file related but it is doing it with other ID files. What is happening is this: I'm trying to print a file I need to duplex. I go to print, choose my printer and hit the setup button at the bottom left. I then hit the preferences button so I can get to my duplex option and I get the following error msg:



Function address 0x39e3cac8 caused a protection fault. (exception code 0xc0000005) Some or all property page(s) may not be displayed.



I thought if I could check to see if it was PPD related but I cannot find where those files should be. I'm without the ability to duplex any of my ID print jobs. My work-around I guess would be to print the file as a PDF and print from that but I'd still like to solve this problem. Any suggestions would be welcome.

Rename the printer temporarily in Windows, then install a new instance and see if it works better.

The problem has been solved. MIS recently migrated most of our main network drives to a new server. What came from that is most users were pointed back to an old print server that is no longer used hence the error msgs. MIS had no answers as to why/how it happened but had the solution. We are now good to go. Thanks for the help.
