On: Sysadmin war story: the network ate my font

The engineering time dealing with that printer is probably more expensive than just buying a simpler/better one.

Close. To be fair the printer is supposed to support PCL5, and this is the first time I've witnessed this happen.

If this is so mission critical why not get a proper Postscript printer with an onboard filesystem for font storage. It doesn't make much sense to run a business on consumer junk.
