changed computers and bought a new all-in-printer (old printer HPLaserjet 3100 All-inone). The old printer created .jsd files through Jet Suite software. New computer is win 2000pro. is ther software to convert these jsd files to pdf?

ReadIRIS and eFax say they can read jsd files but I have not tried them so I can't say for sure. You might be able to install the JetSuite software onto your w2k pc. Here's a link for networking the 3100:

Since you already (or should have) the original install disk for the printer try installing the JetSuite software and test it. If you don't have the w2k driver you can get it at DriverGuide.

Cheers.

I cannot find my old install disk (or my old printer). Can I buy one from you? From anyone? I am desperate to recover hundreds of old JSD files. No one at HP will help!!

Please send me a g-mail at allenandersson.

I just ran into the same problem. The simplest, free solution is to get a printer driver that prints to PDF instead of to paper. The one I use is called PDF995 and though free, it opens up a browser to show ads for their products. You can buy the program for around $10 without this anoyance. I've been scanning old documents to save some filecabinet space and the PDFs come out really clean.

If you didn't save the JSD files as viewable exe files (that is one nice feature of the old JetSuite) you'll have to use the old computer to do this conversion, since nothing on your new machine will be able to read the JSD files.

I would recomend cutePDFwriter that is free.
Open the .jsd file and print it with the cutepdfwriter that is able to choose as a printer when you have installed the cutepdfwriter.
The file is saved on your harddrive as an .pdf.
