Do you have multiple versions of the TeXGyre Pagella installed? Maybe one of them is corrupt.
I don't have it installed. It is in my TeX tree. But if mine is corrupt, everyone's font is corrupt (or my disk is corrupt).
I have multiple versions from context alone: fonts/type1/public/tex-gyre fonts/opentype/public/tex-gyre I guess, if you add those from TexLive you have several possibilities of what could end up in your pdf depending on whether you use MKII or MKIV.
You might want to try outline the fonts and strip them from the document:
gs -sDEVICE=pswrite -dNOCACHE -sOutputFile=nofont-Myfile.ps -q -dbatch -dNOPAUSE Myfile.pdf -c quit
Optionally convert back to pdf with ps2pdf and try print that file. If ghostscript complains right away the problem is not your printer.
Ghostscript doesn't complain and the resulting file prints out fine. (The original one still doesn't.)
Next thing I would try is update CUPS. I installed Gutenprint (http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php) after experiencing some other issues with the standard CUPS from Apple.
(Can I send a document to PostScript printer on specific IP from a Mac without having to use Apple's libraries for handling PDF?)
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.
For a PS printer: cat nofont-Myfile.ps | netcat ip-address port Or with perl sockets if you don't want to use lpr.
Btw: printer specifications says "direct PDF (v 1.4) printing", so I guess that I should be able to send the PDF straight to printer ... if I only knew how to do that.
Then you should make sure you get PDF/X-3:2003 output from context. Default seems to be v1.6 for MKIV. I don't know for MKII. Florian
