Does anyone know how to flush the font cache on a LaserWriter plus?

In the local environment, the font cache sucks down way to much of the
available VM, about 79K. Most people seem to use troff, but I want to
download TeX fonts.

Is there any way to flush the existing cache, e.g., when a job starts?
This would allow me to print & would only slow down the job right after
mine.

Please respond by email if you follow up. Thanks.Newsgroups: comp.text
