Yes, I've seen that, in this and other contexts as well, and have no
clue why. Probably the printer driver. Embedding a Use Font (UF)
command at (or near) the top of the document to be printed should cure
it; for example:

UF COURIER<Enter|F9>

Let me know, please, if this works -- or doesn't.

It occurred to me that I should include a PCL printer driver as well.
SETP 3<Enter|F9> now invokes PCL.PR4.
