All registered owners of 3.0 should get this. The bug fix that David describes addresses problems that occur when printing notebooks, but it will not resolve the font substitutions that you see when you try to print out a Mathematica-generated EPS file by itself. The original problem statement: |> If I save this graphic as an EPS-file and print it out, the brackets () |> are substitute by an H and L. These happens also by other characters |> like f.e. "Infinity". is a symptom that the PostScript interpreter on the HP printer is unable to find any of the Mathematica-specific fonts, which are used to draw brackets, braces, parentheses, and a host of other special characters. Some guidance on how to download the Mathematica fonts manually to PostScript printers under Windows can be found at URL: http://www.wolfram.com/support/Systems/Windows/ManualFontDownload.html -- P.J.
