Re: Printing overlays to an AS/400 attached laser printer

[Wayne McAlpine <wmcalpine@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Going to a real Advanced Function Printing environment would manage the 
download of the overlays to printer memeory once per job, but that would 
be a pretty hefty investment in hardware and software.  The downloaded 
fonts that you mention would do the same thing at a fraction of the 
cost.  I think you're on the right track.
