This problem stems from the gnome-print installer not finding any
type one fonts on your system.

Having ghostscript fonts installed is a good thing.  Sadly under
irix the version of gnome-print is a bit old and may be getting
confused.  Make sure to install ghostscript and fonts BEFORE
gnome-print.
