Fonts Suitcase for Adobe PostScript 3 Printer

I have a Ricoh Adobe PostScript 3 Printer. It said it comes with 136 PostScript Fonts but it did not come with the suitcase files for Mac or the screen fonts for the PC.

How can I use them?

As far as I remember, Apple comes with the suitcase files for its PostScript Level 2 Printers (IIg, for example).

That just means those fonts are saved on the RIP's hard drive. As far as I know, you can't actually "use" them in other applications. It just means that if you do use the same fonts in your layout application, that they won't necessarily need to be downloaded to the RIP.

I've don't recall seeing printers that come with desktop accessible fonts, at least in the way that you mean.
