Non-NeXT Printers and font downloading

This is probably a FAQ my now, but does anyone know how to get NS3.0 to  
correctly manage font downloading when printing documents?

Sure, it now downloads the fonts it needs, but it takes a darn long time to do  
so.

By manually downloading common fonts ahead of time, I should be able to remove  
the need to download the fonts over and over again with each document.

But it seems that NS3.0 doesn;t query the printer first to establish what fonts  
are already available, and hence, downloads redundantly.

This is a major pain, as it turns a 30 second print job into a 5 minute print  
job each and every time.

Any help appreciated.
