Did you do the Standard Encoding to Display Encoding conversion? You need
Display Encoding to view or print. If you try to view or print Standard
Encoding, you get basically the right thing but the points will not be
placed correctly. The Ezra fonts are not clever enough to do this
automatically. The very latest technology for Windows makes such intelligent
fonts possible, but as far as I know no one has written a Hebrew font making
use of this. Watch this space.

Or is your problem that the printed text doesn't match what is on your
screen? In that case your problem is probably with your printer driver. Try
downloading a new one.

Yes, the conversion process is long and tedious.  I found it worked well to
create a
batch file to do the work for you.  However, I also found that the SIL Ezra
printed
very poorly.  The vowel pointing does not maintain its location under the
appropriate
letter.  This maybe something that occurs because of my "inexpensive"
printer but I
would be interested to hear if anyone has got SIL fonts to print properly.
