You're right, it is complaining about Times-Italic. Distiller complains about
the same:
%%[ Error: Times-Italic not found. Font cannot be embedded. ]%%

That would mean to use level2 for the whole fleet of Ricoh printers that I
have, and level2 has its own issues with poppler. After reporting a few of them
in the past I eventually switched to level3 and was mostly happy with level3
support in Ricoh and poppler.

What can be done to handle this undefined font properly, perhaps a substitution
could be made? I see lots of documents like this one choking on "invalidfont"
error when printed on a printer with embedded Adobe engine.
