Changing Printers

[Mike Feimster]

There is a plug-in called Set Print you can get at
http://www.sundorne.com/FrameMaker/Freeware/setPrint.htm that allows you
set your Windows default printer to what you normally print to and your
FrameMaker default printer to Acrobat.

Assuming you mostly work with PostScript printers and PDFs, if you set
the system default printer to Adobe PDF / Acrobat, you should be fine.

The problem is that some printers have their own embedded fonts that are
different than the system's fonts or the system's versions of those
fonts. They aren't part of the Windows system, but they can be accessed
on the printer. If the font appears to be available to the system as a
remote resource, it'll use it. But it can't be embedded in a PDF, for
instance, and won't travel with the file to another system that doesn't
use that printer.
