I just played with the fonts, some print correctly, some do not. If you

I'll just have my kids convert to a pdf first as a work around if they
have to use a nonworking font.

Sorry I don't have a solution for your real problem. But I just want to
check, you are aware that you can install the actual printer driver for
the printer in Windows instead of the Cups driver? If you use Samba
printer sharing to Windows instead of cups, you can even install the
Windows drivers in Linux so Windows will automatically find and download
them as needed.

Windows IPP support is.... pathetic at best. (compared to the printing
nervana that is Linux and Mac networking.)

I am not sure what's causing the problem or how to fix it but I suggest
making sure that Times New Roman is installed on Ubuntu. Run the following 2
command in the terminal
sudo aptitude install msttcorefonts
sudo fc-cache -fv
