This is a problem, as the LaserJet doesn't allow downloading of characters
at all, as far as I know, and the LaserJet+ only allows you to download
an entire character set.  Maybe someone will do a downloadable font which
includes the IBM PC extended character set, but it would be a lot of work.
How about it, HP?  You seem to be the logical guys to take it on!
