Pete,
We have not been able to find a Docutech driver for NT, despite repeated
contacts with Xerox. Could you post details?
Also, Adobe just recently released a version of ATM for NT. I haven't
seen it yet, but it is on order.
We routinely print to the PS side of Laserjet 4s without any difficulty.
