Are asking for printer driver? Try HP Laserjet 4/4M postscript diver. I used it in CorelDRAW.

Here is a pdf file that shows how to install it.

Is there any postscript listed in windows 10 printer list? Click any that will install then try it with ghostscript.

I installed HP Color Laserjet 2800 Series PS in windows 7. It installed fine. You got to remember you have to install it as printer to file. Otherwise, it look for the physical printer and will not install.

1) Click Add printer
2) Click a local printer
3) Select Existing printer
4) Click the Port dropdown menu
5) Click Print to File
6) Click Next
7) From the printer list click HP
8) Look for HP Color Laserjet 2800 Series PS and click it
9) Click Next
10) Change the name if desired
11) Click Next again
12) Click Next and you are done.

You do the sep through X8 printer dialog box. Send the image to the printer then select the postscript printer. You only need the driver to create the files. Then print each file through ghostscript on any printer. Read my Color sep pdf file I posted the link above on how to do it. Print it and use as reference. The printer itself does not do the separation. It is CorelDRAW printer dialog box that has the separation to print each chanel. Click separation tab in the dialog box and go from there.

I suggest you contact CorelDRAW support or check CorelDRAW forums for answer if you can't find Print Separation. The only restriction I know with Home or Student version is it does not have VSTA or Macro or VBA editor. You can find the version and detail about then software click Help > about Coreldraw. Copy the version number then contact CorelDRAW support and ask the what type version you have. The printer dialog window should be the same in general. To find out if there is VBA or other editor Press ALT + F11 simultaneously. The macro window will open.

The separation is done in X8 printer dialog box. Look at the X8 dialog box in the two attachments. The show what to click to get you to print the separations. Print each channel to file. Print each file through ghostscript. Open each file in GSView. Print each each file to your physical printer. Again read my pdf file to print each file through ghostscript.

Don't use the preferences button( printer property) in X8 printer dialog box. You will not find separation there. Stay in the main X8 dialog box and follow the attachments I posted above.
luis your a super nice guy for taking time to explain this . i bought a coreldraw graphics suite x8 and the tabs are there now . so all is well . now i will go back to your first post and go over things to use ghostscript and hopefully print out some half tones

Super. Save the files as ".PS" so GSview will recognise it as postscript. In my tutorial I used older CorelDRAW version so the printer dialog layout is completely different than X8. I also mentioned to save the file as ".PRN". The attachments are X8 dialogs.

To print the postscript file right click on it then click "Open with". Select GSView. Or open the file in GSView. GSView does not display as halftone. But when you print the file the hard copy is halftone.
