Printers can operate either in EPS mode (Encapsulated Postscript) or you can write an image directly to them. In EPS mode the printer decides what font to use, and in image mode the computer itself generates the bitmaps from its own fonts.
(HPs will use PCL, Page Control Language, which is similar in concept to EPS) I'm not keen on printers -- I haven't had one at home for years -- so I don't know exactly what options will be available to you to resolve this. Also I've probably misstated a couple of important facts, but what it boils down to is that your printer is generating the page and doesn't have the right fonts available. Getting the PC to generate the final print image will sidestep this issue. It's also worth noting that printing will be a lot slower once you've done this.

I'd make sure you have the correct driver installed for the printer. It's about the only variable left in that setup. --[Lance] -- GPG Fingerprint: 409B A409 A38D 92BF 15D9 6EEE 9A82 F2AC 69AC 07B9 CACert.org Assurer _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
