When iI need a high quality printout I have to go to thee next copy shop since I have only an ancient Epson 24pin printer. So I print my stuff from NDO with a generic postscript printrt to file and transform it to PDF via GS. I don't have to care for the printer in the shop. The document looks as I want it (BTW, GS fonts are provided by URW company, Hamburg, like the NDO fonts :-)). I can print my documents anywhere on the whole world, on any machine, it only has to run Acrobat Reader (or GS :-)).
