[WinMac] Downloading fonts through a print server

We've been having trouble this semester with some graphics class
students printing their work.

Jobs from our labs/classrooms are metered and processed through an NT
print server.

I've narrowed the problem down to this: If a job involves
downloading a font from a Mac to the printer because the printer
doesn't already have the font, the job results in the printer spewing
reams (literally) of crap; gobbledegook on a single line at the top
of the page.

Printing directly to the printer works just fine.

Is there ay way around this that still will allow the use of an
intermediary print server?
