Hello. I must now buy a new printer that I hope will work successfully with
the EmTeX package. My two main choices are the Hewlett Packard IIp, and the
QMS 410 Postscript. I realize the main advantages in the QMS 410, but I am
wondering how both printers would read the fonts. Would I need to download
the .pk font to the QMS? If so, how would I get the HP IIP to internatally
digest the .pk driver fonts? Or would the HP IIp just take instructions from
the driver? I do not want to end up buying font cartdridges for the EmTeX
package in the end. If the HP IIp would take instructions from the driver,
how does it work? Does the driver send the font maps from the .pk files to
the HP IIp? If so, I thought the HP IIp can't download fonts. How much memory
on the printer would I then need for it to handle the instructions from the
driver?
Thanks
