A black&white printer without built-in PostScript is something like a 
piece of scrap. (My not so humble opinion.)

This is my idea: put both of your Macs side by side and lauch 
i-Installer on both. Now choose "Configure Only" and pay attention that 
both are set-up the same way -- and make corrections. I presume the 
mistake happend when you were asked whether TeX should download all 
fonts. And it has to, since the printer has no fonts built-in.

On the command line you could also invoke these three:

	sudo updmap-sys --nohash --nomkmap --setoption dvipsDownloadBase35 true
	sudo updmap-sys --nohash --nomkmap --setoption pdftexDownloadBase14 
true
	sudo updmap-sys --nohash --nomkmap --setoption dvipdfmDownloadBase14 
true

I think the best would be to use the Latin Modern fonts instead of 
Computer Modern (\usepackage{lmodern}). They are available to the 
system too, so there is hope that CUPS or the EPSON driver will find 
these fonts and would rasterize them.

The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is the day they
