unable to print certain pages from Iceweasel



Hi,

I am unable to print some web pages from Iceweasel.

This is Iceweasel 10.0.11 on wheezy.  The printer is Brother HL-5370DW.  Several PPD files have been tried.

When printing fails with Brother provided or foomatic ppd files, first a page is printed which appears to contain only the horizontal rules of the source page (that is, the parts that don't depend on the font), then a page is printed with these messages:
   ERROR:
   invalidfont
   OFFENDING COMMAND:
   Type1BuildGlyph
   STACK:
   -mark-
   -mark-
   -mark-

Things that work:
   1.  Printing to the same printer from Iceweasel on an AMD box running Squeeze.
   2.  Printing files not generated by Iceweasel, eg Latex generated dvi files from Evince.
   3.  Printing jpeg files from Iceweasel and web pages that seem to be rendered graphically.
   4.  Printing from Epiphany.

Things that didn't work:
   1.  suggestions on the firefox print troubleshooting page:
      http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-printing-problems-firefox
   2.  generic foomatic postscript PPD---prints only blank pages
   3.  rebooting
   4.  apt-get upgrade (an updated iceweasel was available).

Is there a way to detect which font is offending?

Any suggestion would we welcomed.

Thanks.

Mark
