 Stephen,
   In response to printers with only 1-2 meg of memory, the Aldus drivers have
to download fonts one-at-a-time as to not tax the laser printer's memory. Older
versions of PageMaker allowed you to change printer drivers to change this, but
it seems newer versions after 3.0 only allow you to use Aldus driver.
