How do I setup a deskjet (or actually, Olivetti JP350S which states 
to emulate HP deskjet +) such that it accepts and uses downloadable 
softfonts (to speed up printing for a selection of mostly used fonts)?

I can generate laserjet soft fonts from PostScript fonts (using 
an Adobe foundry program) and convert them to deskjet soft fonts 
(using a PD program 'djfont'). They are recognized and can be installed 
by both the Olivetti and the HP deskjet drivers. They can be assigned 
names of PostScript font otherwise available via ATM also, or different 
names. In neither case any text using one of them comes out using the 
downloading mechanism - only graphics printing is used.

What is the soft font installation option of the drivers good for 
if it does not work?
