I don't know yet.
What happens if you send the file produced like above to the printer
_as_a_file, using some utility that can print a disk file? Does it
print as you expect?

One problem could be the way Emacs sends output to the printer.
What's your value of printer-name (the ``normal'' value, before you
changed it to print to a disk file)?

Sounds like Windows is interpreting your text as if it were encoded
in some DOS OEM codepage, not cp1250.

Sorry, I don't know enough about font handling on Windows.
Why do you need to run Emacs in unibyte mode, anyway?
