Umm, the printer drivers accessible on the page you refer to are only relevant if you are using an archaic OS version--Windows 95, 98, or NT 4.0 on the Windows side or OS 7.x, 8.x or 9.x on Macintosh. All of these OS versions are at least two generations behind the times.
Also, the drivers are only relevant if you are printing directly from an application (other than Acrobat) to a physical PostScript printer. None of them have anything to do with generating a PDF with Acrobat Pro. For creating PDF, the only printer driver that should be used is the Adobe PDF driver that is created as part of the standard Acrobat installation.
