HP P1102w print jobs always "stopped"; texttopdf problem



I use up-to-date Debian testing (wheezy) with the amd64 architecture.  I
have a HP LaserJet Professional P1102w printer.  I have tried many (probably
too many) things to try to get this printer to work.  When I boot to my
Windows 7 disk, the printer works.

When I submit a print job by "lpr text.txt", it is not printed.  The
screen at "http://localhost:631/jobs/"; shows:

ID                                      Name            User            Size
HP_LaserJet_Professional_P1102w-44      Unknown         Withheld        1k

Pages           State
Unknown         stopped "/usr/lib/cups/filter/texttopdf failed"

In /etc/cups/cupsd.conf, I set "LogLevel debug" and tried to print
something.  I send the error_log to the CUPS people at
http://www.cups.org/newsgroups.php?gcups.general.  In that group Michael
Sweet pointed out the following lines in the error_log file.

D [16/May/2012:07:44:06 -0400] [Job 47] HP_LaserJet_Professional_P1102w:

He said:

    It looks like texttopdf is aborting because it can't find a font (or
    something).
    Contact the OpenPrinting folks who maintain this software...

The OpenPrinting forum accessible through
http://www.openprinting.org/printer/HP/HP-LaserJet_Pro_P1102w
"is down for maintenance".

Therefore I am trying Debian.
