If you don't include all your graphics, QuarkXpress will print low-res 72 ppi previews, and Illustrator won't print anything. Quark's "Collect for Output" feature is great for copying all graphics used in your layout, allowing you to save the complete job to the media that your service bureau will ultimately be using.
Unfortunately, you still have to manually include all the fonts you have used in your layout, but a Collect for Output "Report" will help you pinpoint which fonts you need to send along with your layout and graphics files. If your job is missing fonts, you might wind up seeing a lot of Courier. The safest way to ensure this doesn't happen is to include full type families, don't pick and choose.
Use only PostScript Type 1 fonts. TrueType fonts (especially mixed with PostScript fonts) may cause problems on output. Ask your service bureau whether they accept them. Don't use Multiple Master or GX fonts. Generally, they don't print.
