A huge number of people have had similar problems.  Your best bet
will be to upgrade to a newer version of gnome-print.  I have not
yet tried 0.30, but 0.29 was a major improvement.  A good source of
type1 fonts (especially helvetica) is the ghostscript package.  It
tend to have a 'gs-fonts' sibling with lots ofuseful stuff.

Good luck,
