Hello. I have DVIPS for MSDOS and a set of adobe .pfb soft files.
I read somewhere that dvips automatically uncompresses the .pfb 
files and sends them to the printer along with the .ps file that
requested the fonts. However, the msdos version of dvips doesn't
allow you to send a postscript output from .dvi file directly to 
the printer, but only to a file you can download later. Well, I
usually use the msdos copy command to send a postscript file to
the printer. However, how would I send the .pfb files uncompressed
to the printer since dvips doesn't uncompress them and send them
because it can't. Or, does dvips actually embed the .pfb file in
the proceeding .ps file since it can't send either the .ps file
or .pfb/a to the printer?

Thanks
