Thank you for the report.  I've just installed a fix.

As ps-print.el uses ISOLatin1Encoding, any non-latin1
characters can't be printed by default.  But, if your
postscript printer provides a name of a font of iso-8859-15
encoding, this may work.

(push '(latin-iso8859-15
        (normal builtin "FONTNAME_FOR_NORMAL" ps-mule-encode-8bit)
        (bold builtin "FONTNAME_FOR_BOLD" ps-mule-encode-8bit)      
        (italic builtin "FONTNAME_FOR_ITALIC" ps-mule-encode-8bit)      
        (bold-italic builtin "FONTNAME_FOR_BOLD_ITALIC" ps-mule-encode-8bit))
        ps-mule-font-info-database-ps)

(setq ps-multibyte-buffer 'non-latin-printer)
