The answer is no, it does not.   (I'm posting instead of mail as this is
a common misconception).  It is still a great printer though.  I think
that you find that the hardest thing to get around with soft fonts is
not the difference in formats, but that the deskjet requires the characters
to be downloaded in ascending order.
