Well the printers I submit work to handle the fonts in pdf just fine. 
My local printer is a Ricoh with PostScript capability so I can 
either save as postscript or else use Ghostscript pdf2ps routine and 
I still  get real fonts. 

In general PDFs are not printed as images. From Acrobat Reader for 
example if you print to a file it saves the file as Postscript. 
Convert it back to pdf and the fonts are still there.
