Subject: postscript fonts?

I seem to have problems with printing postscript files.
A user today tried to print a one page Quark file from him Mac and it spit
out a ton of pages with hearts and smileys on the first line. The rest
was blank. I am not sure what went wrong.
I looked at the error log and nothing is mentioned in there. What our
best guess is at this point is that we are missing postscript fonts on the
Unix Spooler (FreeBSD)
Here is my config...
/etc/printcap
laser|lp|HP LaserJet on AppleTalk:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/laser:\
:rp=raw:\
:rm=207.7.33.254:\
:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:pw#80:hl:\
:pd=/usr/local/etc/HPLJ5SIM1.PPD:
/usr/local/etc/papd.conf
laser:\
:pr=laser:op=laser:\
:pd=/usr/local/etc/HPLJ5SIM1.PPD:
I have the PPD set redundantly, and have not determined yet where it
should be. I just have not messed with it too much since it start to work
to at least print the MS Word files they wanted to print.
But now Quark seems to be unhappy. What can I do? Do I need install some
fonts or a filter? Should I use this filter?

Please help if you can. I am pretty helpless here.
