On a high-end printer with a non-Guix CUPS service running, I can print just fine. However I’ve seen the problem you describe with a low-end printer and the CUPS service provided by Guix. Could it be that our CUPS service somehow fails to find the standard PostScript fonts, those normally provided by the ‘gs-fonts’ package? Thanks, Ludo’.
