Solution

The job prints in Courier (the printer default typeface) instead of the typeface you requested.

The requested typeface is not downloaded. A personality switch might have been performed to print a PCL job just before the PS printing job was received.

Download the desired font and send the print job again. Verify the type and location of the font. Download the font to printer, if applicable. See the software documentation.

A PS error page prints.

Print job might not be PS.

Make sure the print job is a PS job. Check to see whether the program expected a setup or PS header file to be sent to the printer.
