How do you install a printer if you don't own a printer?  I'd like to
dump the Postscript fonts along with my document so that I can print
the document on a Postscript printer at school.  I browsed through the
on-line documentation and didn't find the references needed.  When I
try the 'chosen printer/Include Fonts' option it remains
un-highlighted so I can't invoke it.

Thanks,

Shane
