You could file a bug report here but that won't get your job out:

It could be a small change in the way InDesign CC 2019 that made is intolerant of a font that has become damaged. It's really hard to tell.

Did you try Bob's workaround of printing from a PDF file?

I have tried many things. Myanmar MN is a system font. I can make a PDF, I can not export as an .eps or print as a .ps. When I remove Myanmar MN is can print, .eps, .ps. I can open and do everything with InDesign 2018.

Substitute font is not an option. We have been printing it for five years.

If you can export a PDF, do so. Unless your earlier post contained a typo, you stated that you could.

Your font might have become corrupted (common with older fonts like Myammar MN). Font is listed here: Myanmar MN Font - What Font Is 

Try downloading a new copy and reinstalling it.

That was my thought too, Bevi. Why I suggested trying a different font to test.

Not sure what OS you're on, but since upgrading to CC2019 on Mojave, I can print very little from Indesign without failure. I can export to PDF and print that, but that is a lousy workaround.
