The Truetype support in the xprint.mozdev.org Xprint server uses the
FreeType TTF/OTF engine from Xfree86 so it needs the encodings.dir stuff
set-up properly... - is that true in your case ?

Questions:
1. Does % (DISPLAY=:64 xlsfonts) # list any fonts except the "Courier"
and "fixed"/"cursor" fonts ?
2. Are the Xprint server config files (e.g.
/usr/share/Xprint/xserver/C/print/) installed ?
3. Are the font _files_ in the font path readable for the Xprint server
?
4. Are there any error messages or warnings from the Xprint server ?
5. Does the Xprint server find the encodings.dir font encodings table ?
