Re: PS 1.0.2 already in W2K SP1?

Thomas, 

Yes, you are correct. Windows 2000 Service Pack 1 has the update.
HOWEVER, the driver installer downloadable from Adobe allows you
setup the driver with ANY valid PPD as opposed to using the "Add Printer"
wizard which only works with the limited number of abbreviated 
(castrated) PPD files provided by Microsoft.
