Using LaTeX in TeXShop (via pdftex) I find that \'{o} displays correctly =
but
does not print correctly on my Lexmark E312.  However, if I open the
resulting pdf file in Acrobat Reader 5 and print from there it does print
correctly.

Not a surprise.  There is now a wealth of evidence for
a very annoying bug in apples pdf processing software.

I have a new variant:  Download any of the pdf files
from the preprint archive http://xxx.lanl.gov/
and try even to view it using apples previewer:
it is incomprehensible garbage.  It, of course looks (and prints)
fine with Acrobat 5.0.

You would think that in going to a pdf base (as opposed
to postscript)  that Apple would get this right, but alas Nooooo!

I would like to echo Gerben Wierda's recommendation:
PLEASE follow up by sending feedback to Apple via its
web pages.  If enough people scream then maybe they
will fix this promptly

This is a known bug in Apple's Cocoa print code in 10.1. Adobe is a 
Carbon app and does not suffer from this (and several other) bugs.
