We have a bunch of networked Macintoshes and two people have been having
trouble printing TrueType fonts from PageMaker 4.2.  They each have their
own LaserWriter IIg (which you may or may not know, the IIg does NOT have
Zapf Dingbats in its ROM)  Anyway, both people have trouble when they 
print Zapf Dingbats.  (We installed the TrueType version from Apple
since their printers no longer had a Postscript version) and they can
print it once but then the printer will not print again.  It has to be
reset.  Also one of them said the Old English TrueType font which comes
in the Apple Font Pack (we got this when we bought some Personal LaserWriter
NTRs) caused a Postscript error when she tried to print it from Pagemaker.

Anyone else have problems with TrueType fonts not printing, Pagemaker and
TrueType fonts or the LaserWriter IIg and TrueType fonts?  These fonts 
print just fine from other apps on my machine to the HP IIIsi that I use.
Pagemaker does have it's own printer drivers.

Some people have version 7.1.1 of the LaserWriter driver, some people have
version 7.1.2  Could this cause problems (I know there are problems when
some people use a System 6 LaserWriter driver and others use System 7's..)

Is there a public domain Postscript equivalent of Zapf Dingbats?  I've looked
in the archive.umich.edu Type 1 fonts directory on wuarchive but couldn't
find anything.  I don't see why we should have to buy Zapf Dingbats, we've
bought over 14 printers with it already...  We also have Adobe's Type on Call
CD-ROM and Image Club's but neither lists Zapf Dingbats as a font they sell
anyway (why would they it's built into every Postscript printer, well expect
the IIf and IIg)

Does it sound like a problem with the TrueType font, Pagemaker, the printer?
Macintoshes in general :)
