I see this behavior when I'm using TrueType fonts, but never when using Type 1. It can occur when printing directly from an application (Frame, Word) or from a PDF. The customer where I'm at has a mix of printers, some PostScript, and some with Adobe RIPs. These all use a mix of old drivers, the very latest drivers, and so on. It's a really mess. But I can summarize it as follows:

TrueType + non-Adobe RIP = most often
TrueType + Adobe RIP = once in a blue moon
Type 1 = never

We basically solved it here by sticking with Type 1, plus a few new Adobe OpenType.
