Probably not. The directions are correct, but not quite cookbook.

Ignore printmon. You don't need it. quePDF replaces it.

Hopefully not. It has to look like postscript you you are going to have
trouble turning it into a PDF.

This much is obvious. :-)

Install ePDF.

Install quePDF. You can leave it running all the time or start it when
you need it. I do the later.

Install the postscript driver. When asked to select a printer, select a
printer. I selected a Color Laseret PS, but in theory, any selection
should work. On the output port page, select the ePDF pipe.

To print a PDF, make sure quePDF is running and print your document. If
yo are not running in batch mode, ePDF will pop up and allow you to adust
the settings. Click OK and you will have a PDF.

If you get large PDFs with coarse text, you need to change to a Postscript
font or use the pscript2 driver.
