How does one determine "why" a font is not resident on a printer?
Am I correct it is the definition on the iSeries with the problem, not the actual printer (in this case it's software called Oneprint Server, used by a fax product to process *afpds spools.

I can find PQT2072 in google and IBM Redbooks and Info Center, and all they do is reiterate the text of the message.
Trying to use font 2304 (helvetica) in a *afpds spooled file.
What I really need is proportional fonts in multiple sizes, bold/no bold from point size 7 thru 12.
Helvetica preferred (2304, 2305).
When the spooler goes to print it - the substitution occurs.
The printer is defined as IPDS.
There is a PSF Configuration, resident fonts=Yes.
All the fonts it substitutes to are fixed width. No good.
I can use the same spool, use a pdf converter like Gumbo Software, and it works great. Send it to the IPDS printer - no.
