No, there is no link to download that driver installer from. Originally designed for Windows 2000 and Windows'9x, for Windows 2000, the primary function of that driver installer was to connect an arbitrary PPD file with the existing Windows PSCRIPT5.DLL driver to create a PostScript printer driver instance reflecting the printer characteristics of the PostScript printer descripted in the PPD file.

That installer was actually a 16-bit executable that could not run at all on 64-bit versions of Windows. Plus, the driver architecture of Windows Vista changed significantly enough that the last version of Windows for which this driver installer worked was actually Windows XP 32-bit. (It didn't run on Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8.x, or Windows 10!)

 

Since Microsoft discontinued any and all support for Windows XP and that our PostScript OEM partners do distribute their own driver installers (typically available from their support websites). Adobe discontinued any and all development of that old driver installer many years ago and in more recent times during “housecleaning” of the Adobe download areas of our website, discontinued availability of this similar obsolete software.
