- This [serverdict ... exitserver] only applies, of course, to fonts
- downloaded to memory. Getting a font onto a disk is a whole
- different animal.
-
- Right. Downloading to memory is useless to me; I don't use my printer
- often enough to want to put up with the noise.
-
- Are there any reasonable PostScript printers that come with a disk?
- I've never understood why disks aren't effectively standard on PS
- printers.
