Although I haven't downloaded the fonts, I think I can answer this question
from what I know:

Screen fonts will print on dot-matrix printers. Ugly (the screen resolution
is lower than the printers') but it works.

You should be able to use them in PC Paintbrush and old Windows Paint
and print them on any printer that way. Not what you had in mind,
huh? :-)

They will not print on Postscript printers, nor on LaserJets, unless maybe
you're emulating an Epson 9-pin.

They are good if you have the corresponding laser printer fonts and want
an accurate screen representation. They are largely useless otherwise.
