I recently got the PostScript renderings of the TeX CM fonts,
and have been using them happily on 300dpi printers.

However last week I had to prepare a paper for publication 
where they demanded a camera-ready copy at 600 dpi (at least).

Hence I ran dvips -D600 ...

and tried to print the file on two (different) printers, both
capable of printing at 600 dpi 
 - an IBM4029 running the interpreter version 52.1 
 - a QMS PS1700 running the interpreter version 52.4

In both cases the printers stopped before they printed anything
with the message VMerror. As the test document only consists of
one page without any graphics, the problem must come from the
huge quantity of type1 font information, which is included at
the beginning of the file.

Does anybody on the net know how to twiddle the printer-parameters
to put the fonts away somewhere, so that they do not eat up the
VM memory, or how else can I proceed?

As we want to start using printing at >600 dpi more and more
I think that solving this problem in a general way becomes
now very important.

Thanks for your help.
