Very much a "new boy" myself, but in LaTex I use the following in my 
preambles (not so much to help printing, but to force Type 1 fonts for a 
legible screen display).

\renewcommand{\rmdefault}{ptm}
\renewcommand{\sfdefault}{phv}
\renewcommand{\ttdefault}{pcr}

The instructions (respectively) make the default Roman, Sans Serif and 
Typewriter fonts the ones that are already part of Acrobat Reader (Times, 
Helvetica and Courier). (Always presuming you are printing from Acrobat and 
not printing the file using some other utilty?)

If you are using Tex rather than LaTex I presume ... a similar change in 
defaults can be made ...
