That hex is the font download.  As a user that has the postscript
printer on my Unix system, what I did was 'tap' the line from my PC
to the printer and downloaded each file once, saving what it sent.
(Later I did the same thing using their parallel downloader when that
came out and my Sun traping the output to a file.)

I now just 'cat' that info to the printer and it works fine.  I did strip
off the extra garbage header that Adobe used to put on the old serial
down load.  The newer parallel download program they have does not
put on any extra garbage and is perfect for a capture.
