	The downloader written by Adobe and shipped with their Font packages
	attempts to do this.  There is a two step process.  First the Fonts
	must be unpacked.  Then they must be sent to the printer. Adobe 
	supplies one program to do this for the serial communications, and
	one for a Parrallel connection.

	The serial one is menu driven and works fine for what it was intended
	to do.  However, I have only been able to get the program that 
	communicates through the Parrallel port to work with (IBM) PC's.  It
	does NOT work on a Compac 386.  I have spoken with others that state
	it does not work on IBM clone machines.

	The unpacking procedures are available from Adobe
