My guess is that what's happening is that the printer driver is
substituting your printer's built-in version of Times for the TrueType
Times Roman.  The TrueType Times Roman font has a much bigger set of glyphs
that the PostScript Times-Roman.  I think you can tell the printer driver
not to do this substitution, but I don't remember exactly how.

If that's not the problem, it may simply be that the PostScript driver
doesn't properly deal with characters outside the standard Windows
character set.
