The font substitution uses Courier for monospaced fonts (e.g., monaco),
Helvetica for sans-serif fonts (e.g., geneva), and Times for serifed fonts
(e.g., New York). If you want font substitution to use Times, be sure to
use a serifed bit-mapped font (some trial and error may help discover which
ones work best).

If you turn off font substitution (see Options on the LW print dialog box),
then you'll get your bit-mapped fonts, by the way.
