Why not? PostScript printers should handle nofont-Myfile.ps (see above).
My question is more like "how can I do that". I remember using something like "copy \path\to\printer" on windows long time ago, but I'm not sure how to do the same on Mac.
Answering myself ... I have now found "man lpr" saying SEE ALSO http://localhost:631/help So I used that file for help and ended up doing lpstat -p to get printer name and then lp -d some_very_weird_printer_name_ myfile.pdf and that works perfectly. Still, I'm very very confused about why most files print out OK. It is most probably a bug in Apple's software then (maybe not handling OpenType fonts properly, but I never had any single problem with TeX-generated files until today). On the other hand I have updated the system to 10.6.7 a few hours ago, but I simply cannot imagine that an update would completely break printing. Mojca
