Update to 10.6.7 causes printing problems

Did Apple change the printing framework somehow in this recent update? All the computers in our office now cannot print properly to our Riso HC5500 printer. The same problem also with our Ricoh printer, which would suggest that something in the system changed. I've been able to identify one of the fonts as perhaps problematic with 10.6.7 whereas with prior versions, this font was fine. Thoughts? Anyone else experiencing printing issues?

3.0 GHz Intel Core Due iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.7)

Now finally FINALLY! Apple made a bug fix:

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4605

and it works for us – for the Canon IPF6300 printer, which all of sudden was unable to print text after the upgrade to OSX10.6.7.

After installing todays bug fix everything is back to normal. IPF6300 prints all text from pdf's and VectorWorks.

Hope everyone else here will experience the same relief.
