The problem has many different layers ...

The fontsets you define are only a helpful means for presenting  
(displaying) the encoded characters from the file in some window in  
GNU Emacs. Printing the (still unchanged) file's contents or its view  
in a GNU Emacs buffer is completely independent from this. And it  
gives you two new problems: you'll need to find at least one font  
that contains the Turkish glyphs and you'll need to provide a  
PostScript encoding for Turkish/ISO 8859-9/ISO Latin-7.

The first PostScript problem, the font, is the big problem, from my  
point of view: I don't know of a PostScript font with Turkish glyphs  
like:

	;   oct   dec   hex    UCS2    UTF-8
	;=====================================
	Ğ = 320 = 208 = D0 = U+011E =    C4 9E : LATIN CAPITAL LETTER G WITH  
BREVE
	İ = 335 = 221 = DD = U+0130 =    C4 B0 : LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I WITH  
DOT ABOVE
	Ş = 336 = 222 = DE = U+015E =    C5 9E : LATIN CAPITAL LETTER S WITH  
CEDILLA
	ğ = 360 = 240 = F0 = U+011F =    C4 9F : LATIN SMALL LETTER G WITH  
BREVE
	ş = 376 = 254 = FE = U+015F =    C5 9F : LATIN SMALL LETTER S WITH  
CEDILLA

The PostScript encoding problem is at least solved in GNU Emacs  
23.0.60 from CVS. If you had this version (I presume you are using  
GNU Emacs 22.1 or elder) you could set up proper PostScript fonts to  
use via the customisation interface. Then all could be fine.

In the meantime you can use a perfect work-around: htmlize-view.el by  
Lennart Borgmann (http://
piprim.tuxfamily.org/home/pi/emacs.d/site-lisp/htmlize-view.el ?) and  
htmlize.el by Hrvoje Nikšić (http://fly.srk.fer.hr/~hniksic/emacs/ 
htmlize.el). Htmlize-view creates an HTML buffer by means of htmlize.  
This buffer is sent to your web browser. Now you can print from the  
browser in (complete) Unicode, using your system's capabilities,  
which are more elaborate than GNU Emacs.

If you can't find htmlize-view.el I can send you my copy privately.


BTW, you know that the ps-spool-* commands don't print but just  
create *PostScript* buffers?
