Citing myself from six weeks ago:

The problem with PostScript is that it usually only supports 8 bit  
encodings. So you can't print Unicode. You can try to find a CID  
keyed PostScript font and with some effort you can print CJK. No such  
font is available for free or public domain. TrueType and OpenType  
fonts have better Unicode support. Modern PostScript can use such  
TrueType fonts, which are quite often free and acceptable quality.  
But I have no idea how to create a mapping from an UTF-8 encoded text  
to a Unicode encoded font in PostScript.

Another problem is that GNU Emacs' PS print facility does not support  
non-Latin scripts. It actually only supports ISO 8859-1 and it  
reports that characters outside this encoding exist in the region or  
buffer you want to print.
