Just had to handle this problem myself. Looks as if mathematica doesn't
send missing fonts automatically to the printer, so I got around by
sending the missing fonts in advance to the printer (on my mac with Apple
Printer Utility). Cumbersome, because you have to repeat it after each
time the printer is switched off (if it has no hard disk). On wolframs
page you may find another solution in the FAQ, sth like opening the option
inspector, notebook
options->PrinterSetup->PrinterSetup->RenderPostScriptInFrontEnd, and then
when you want to print there will be another message asking what to do -
click RenderInFronted (3rd option). But this doesn't solve the problem of
exporting eps-files for import in other system (LaTeX in my case), thats
why I choose the first solution.

Hth, Christian.
