You might have taken some of those messages a little bit out of context. There _are_ some inconsistencies with the GS/OS LaserWriter driver, and they prevent it from printing out certain fonts (I don't remember off-hand what they are). Times is a typeface which _does_ work as advertised, as do Helvetica, Avant Garde, Courier, Palatino and a few others. I have screen fonts for about 20 of Adobe's PostScript fonts, and if I want to print to a LaserWriter, I generally stick to the fonts I mentioned above.
