Problem

Solutions: The question has come up, "What is the difference between UPDATE (on Shift-F7, U) and just choosing Printer Edit, Cartridges and Fonts?" The new listing of fonts will show up both ways. Well there is a difference.... When you UPDATE a printer file, a copy of the .PRS file and most of the other information contained in the new or modified .ALL file will be put into the new .PRS file, with the exceptions of sheet feeders and forms. If you modified any of the sheet feeder information then you need to go into Printer Edit, choose Sheet Feeder (this opens up the .ALL file with the new information) and re-select the sheet feeder. If you modify or update at least one font by going into Cartridges and Fonts then the fonts in the .PRS file are replaced by the fonts in the .ALL file as long as the font name matches exactly, i.e. the font named Courier 10cpi in the .PRS file will be replaced by the font named Courier 10cpi in the .ALL file. None of the other new information in the .ALL file is copied. The main difference is that when we Update a .PRS file we could include extra fonts in the .PRS file. Any font marked in the .ALL file as "include in .PRS file" will be added to the .PRS file. If we only go into Cartridges and Fonts, only those fonts present in the .PRS file will be replaced by the matching fonts in the .ALL file.
