I set Adobe PDF as my default system printer, as I generate PDFs far more often than I print to dead trees. Try that, maybe?
Also, be sure to uncheck "Remember missing font names" in the FM Preferences, and you should be able to "strip" all legacy font info from your files as you open them and save them in the course of normal revision and production. Lastly... this should be a sign to reassess your template design(s), to look into using typefaces that aren't muddled in the mess of Type 1 -> PS -> TTF -> OT (i.e., not "Times" and "Helv" and "Courier"). All those old, canonical typefaces are basically a tarbaby, these days (not to mention aesthetically bereft, but that's another story!). Why even wade in those waters, if your output is primarily PDF, in which you can embed fonts? (Sadly, there's still good cause to stick with "web fonts" if you do a lot of online deliverables.) Why not find a lovely typeface to make your company's own and bring a little life into your pubs? :) That said, if you begin with ANY of Adobe's templates, be prepared to MIF-and-strip (to kill Adobe's stubborn use of ill-distinguished typefaces!). Even with the "blank" template, you'd do well to begin by MIFing it, opening in a programmer's text editor, and stripping out all the Catalogs (FM will put back the built-in Color Defs and Variables automatically, but you'll have NO table, para, char, etc styles). And even THEN, you will probably have to open it, let font substitution happen, and save the substitution--Reference page junk, most likely! Bon chance...

In the past, I think I'd used a handy little utility someone had posted that automatically set my printer to Adobe PDF when I opened Framemaker. That was when I was in FM10 so I wouldn't have had this problem then, but I recently upgraded so FM 11 is not set that way. ...
