I don't have this problem either.  The fonts folder is in the system folder
and the driver is in the extensions folder.  The only time I get a
message indicating "using bitmapped fonts" is in the cases where I have
tossed the HP outline fonts and am just using the True Type fonts for
display and printout.  I only kept the HP fonts where there is no True Type
equivalent -- anyway, I get the HP fonts for "free", and I agree that if
I had to pay real money for them I would just go with True Type :-).
