Printing in Windows 2K

Lately, we upgraded our OS to Windows 2000 Pro however we had problems when printing. When we print, we set the font using the printer settings of the printer (we use Epson LX-300) a dot-matrix. However, Windows 2000 bypasses the printer’s built-infonts and prints its own. We didn’t have this problem when we were using Windows 95/98. Is there a way to make Windows 2000 use the printer’s built-in fonts and not it own Windows fonts?
