Im trying to print a simple document to an HP LaserJet P4015dn, but the fonts I need to use (Trajan Pro and Adobe Garamond) are being replaced by the printer.

I get the same results printing the document as a Word file or PDF.

screen vs print
Screen (left) & print

What does this problem mean and where does it likely originate?

Is your printer driver sending the fonts to the printer?

Make sure your printer driver is correctly configured. It looks like the system is sending PCL or PostScript data to the printer and is failing to send the required fonts to render the document correctly. It's also possible the printer is set up to use only its onboard fonts, and therefore is refusing to use the fonts sent by the application or printer driver.

Try to send the raw data as a PostScript file. You can create it from the print dialog: Save as PostScript...
