I have come across such anomalies. Then it has had to do with imported documents, like OLE linked Visio files or imported pdf files made on another system (older version of M$ Windoze, usually).
I have just ignored it and everything will print OK. Never had a real problem with it. It seems as Windows is saying: "Gotcha! You have a different version of Windoze installed than the file you are importing was made in. Same font - some different connections in Registry. Your tough luck." Don't you just like Windoze?
