I'm having a problem with sending larger ACAD plots to a LaserJet with 2.5 Meg
of RAM.  The laserjet is setup so that everybody in the building can access it
via an RS232 interface.  The printer has approximately 500K worth of softfonts
loaded (Tmsrmn, Presentation, math, etc.) 

When a large ACAD drawing is sent to the laserjet, it totaly clears the 
softfonts even though there is enough RAM for both the fonts and the drawing!
This requires me to re-load the soft fonts several times a day (which gets old
*real* fast :-).  The ACAD (verison 9.0) program is configured for a laserjet 
with 1.5+ MBytes so I would think that it wouldn't automatically delete all the 
soft-fonts when a file got too big.

Has anybody had a similar problem or know how to correct it?  I'm not the one
using ACAD so I don't know how flexible the printer drivers are.  I can send 
full page graphics from other software to the laserjet without killing the soft
fonts, so I'm pretty sure the problem is with ACAD.
