 That now looks like either a corrupted Print Queue (the Windows Print Spooler is related to this) or a printer driver which was acting up. When I restart my computers and then go to print, the printer itself also resets its onboard cache. 
By default, if you don't fully shut down Windows 10 or 11, the computer doesn't truly turn itself off. It cycles through a deep sleep state, which does not reset hardware, including WiFi, USB ports and buses, etc. In fact, I have to actually turn off the power switch on my computers to get USB to fully power down. So, printers won't fully reset unless you really and truly get the PC shut down all the way. 
Windows Fast Startup (enabled by default in Power Options) also prevents a full shutdown. This leaves all your NTFS partitions locked. A problem for those of us who share data partitions with other OSes.

I'm pretty sure my office suite, LibreOffice (Writer) does not have this issue with my printer. Both the printer and the program need to support the printed character sets. 

  

But I agree, the issue is most likely how the fonts are formatting in the documents.

======================  

 

Put these three lines into a word doc and printed them.  APTOS and ARIAL were fine.  New Times Roman not only didn’t print the b and p, but also didn’t print the j and the N.  Those two didn’t happen to be in the earlier recipe I printed.  So we now know the issue is with NTR which I never use now-a-days.
