Ok, with IE 5.5 SP2, what ENCODING are you set to? Mine's on Auto. On Mozilla, it's on that Western setting.

And I gotta ask. Do you have a printer driver installed and some default printer selected?

How sure are you the right fonts are installed? Did you see the fonts required in View/Source?
Can you give an example of such a page?
