Attempted to use a disk-resident
font, but the product substituted a
different font.

If you are using PCL, print the PCL Font Page, and verify that the font is on the disk.
If you are using PS, print the PS Font Page and make sure that the font is on the disk.
If the font is not on the disk, use the HP Resource Manager or the Macintosh-based
HP LaserJet utility to download the font.
