What program(s) are between Abi-Word and the printer? What does the
print command look like when you print something correctly?
I used "lpr -Plp1" (in case your fonts are screwy, that is
"ell-pee-ar-space-dash-capitol-pee-ell-pee-one") in the Custom location,
with the printer setting, Generic PostScript, the text came out in the
specified Times Roman on the remote printer specified as lp1 (or
"ell-pee-one") in my /etc/printcap file.
Give us more information!
