You can download the fonts manually to your printer before you do the
printing.  You can use FontDownloader or SendPS.  On the Mac, only the
fonts that are not available in the printer will be downloaded.  I
guess the reason why PageMaker does this is to save some space for the
printer.  You might want to reset the printer after you are done.
