There seems to be an installation problem with Sibelius. Printed treble clefs are filled in/fat (see attachment). Changing toner cartridges didn't solve it. Exporting as a graphic (pdf or png) and then printing worked just fine. Any suggestions?

IIRC, this issue emerged some time ago as a Mac font issue.

Maybe this will help? https://www.sibelius.com/cgi-bin/helpce ... me=#756515

Thank you for the suggestion. I reinstalled Sibelius with no improvement. The thread at least highlights the problem. I've printed fine for 7 years and now this problem arises. I didn't notice airprint being used until I looked at the driver - "HP Color LaserJet MFP M477fdn-Airprint." I certainly don't want to have to export every print job to pdf for a print. Still searching.

Can you not force Sib to use a different printer driver? What happens if you set the system default driver to a PS or native driver? If you think this is Airprint, then report it to Apple.
