Perhaps you keep your customisations in your .emacs so that emacs
understands what colours it is?  I have the same, defined there e.g.:

(custom-set-faces
  ;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom -- don't edit or cut/paste it!
  ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
 '(default ((t (:stipple nil :background "darkslategrey" :foreground "wheat" :inverse-video nil :box nil :strike-through nil :overline nil :underline nil :slant normal :weight normal :height 116 :width normal :family "adobe-courier"))))
 '(border ((t (:background "darkslategray"))))
 '(fringe ((t (:background "darkslategray"))))

Well, yes, in a way I do that too (using the color-theme.el package),
but my problem with ps-print-buffer & Co is independent of that.
Whether I use lisp or X resources or both methods to set the colors,
the difference is between the Emacs versions 21.3 (unwanted behaviour)
and 21.2 or earlier (good behaviour).

Use the force, Stein, read the source!

    (setq ps-default-fg 'black) 
    (setq ps-default-bg 'white)

did exactly what I wanted.
