Andrew, Sounds like the remote printer doesn't have the fonts installed. This could be because the fonts aren't included in the print file and are expected to be stored on the printer. Depending on the printer functionality, fonts can be stored: temporarily in memory for the duration of the job; permanently in memory (although that normally means until the printer is turned off); permanently on hard disk; or, permanently on a flash simm of some kind. Ask the remote site to print off a font list from the front panel to check the availability of the font (You may be able to telnet in, or web-browse in to force it remotely yourself). Try sending the font as part of the print job, or before the print job with it marked for permanent storage.
