Perhaps if you read it again, you would see that what I am talking about is 
printing using GhostScript WITHOUT embedding the fonts in the PS data files.

I am NOT in any way talking about embedding fonts.

Perhaps it would help if you tried the fix that I posted on KDE-Bugzila 
before making comments on it.  It appears to work perfectly on my system 
with GNUlpr but I have not been able to try it with CUPS because the CUPS 
GS device won't build with GCC-3.3.
