MacDraw II stupidity

Greetings,
 
  I'm having a hell of a time getting MacDraw II to print what it's showing on
the screen.  (MacDraw II 1.1, Adobe Type Manager 2.0, HP DeskWriter) On the
screen, I have a page with 8 business cards, which I created by making one and
then duplicating it 7 times.  I've been playing with the fonts to make them
look better.  Now, the fonts are in Times Roman and Adobe Garamond Light and
Bold.  It used to be all Times.  Now, when I print, although on screen I've
got all Garamond for the large fonts, one card prints TIMES!!  So, I deleted
it and re-copied it.  Now, ANOTHER one prints TIMES.  When that got fixed, all
of a sudden something is printing in 2pt. text.

  What the hell is going on?  It looks fine on screen!  Why does this thing
hate me?  Is it Draw?  Is it ATM?  How do I fix it so it actually prints what
it's supposed to?

  Also, on a slightly unrelated note, why does it have to BEEP every time it
puts up a dialog?  Is this annoying to anybody else?

If you know the answers to any of these, please email me, and I'll summarize.

Thanks!
--Mike
