It seems the problem can be narrowed down to xprint's inability to
recognise the *generic* font family names (serif, sans-serif, monospace)
used by fontconfig (but xprint does not use fontconfig). It only
recognises specific names.
The Debian bug report pages are good test pages (for instance
bugs.debian.org/xprt-xprintorg). Print with xprint; everything becomes
monospace. This means that on my system xprint uses some monospace font
as default (Courier_iso8859-1 to judge from the ps file) but this may
not be the same on every system.
I copied the page and its css. The headlines in boxes (like Outstanding
Bugs ..) are h2 type headlines belonging to a class outstanding. The
css specifies for h2.outstanding just the font-family sans-serif. Only
when I changed this to Arial, sans-serif did xprint handle those
headlines correctly.
In the Debian home page, the left column is a named division called
leftcol, and the css specifies for this: font-family: Arial,
Helvetica, sans-serif. Because this use of non-generic font family names
the left column prints OK.
