I'm printing to a laserjet via cups, but the problem isn't with the printer. The wrong data is being sent to the printer (this is evident from the "print preview"). > You may want to comb through gconf-editor, and look at the Gnumeric > settings, and see if something jumps out at you as being strange.

Actually, I didn't see anything having to do with fonts at all. I'm quite stumped by this...could it be something that only happens on 5.x (I'm running 5.1-RELEASE...not sure if I remembered to mention that before). Thank you for the tips and suggestions and I'll keep trying to get this to work right. -Scott
