Sure, just point to http://www.jotux.org/code/ and you will find a
printer test dialog and some pdf printed in my system.
The pdfs where printed to a cups-pdf printer, which is giving the
exact same output as the normal printers i have, a Minolta 1300w and a
Epson stylus cx3650.
I whas fooled, the font that prints fine its the Nimbus Sans L , i
whas specifying Helvetica but as the name of the one i have its
diferent it whas falling back to Nimbus.
With the printer_tests.py you can see the one you choosed and the font
that the painter uses in the printer.
