My guess not knowing anything about your setup is that the printing is 
happening using some print language postscript or the HP one (PCL), and 
the fonts are not communicated properly or missing on the printer, but 
computer thinks they are there, etc.

You can try some experiments. You can print from LibreOffice to a PDF, 
and then print that pdf from a pdf viewer and from chrome (since you can 
print from chrome without issue), and that way narrow down the issue.

The other thing to do is switch your print settings in CUPS or whatever 
the print system is from Postscript to PCL, or vice versa and see if 
that fixes things.
