bug#35355: 27.0.50; ps-print-buffer-with-faces does not print non-ascii

[Jean-Christophe Helary]

I tried to print a simple C buffer with some Japanese characters in commentsand 
the default printout was in b/w, but all the Japanese characters were printed 
out nicely.

Then, I tried the ps-print-buffer-with-faces command and the syntax 
highlighting worked fine but all the Japanese characters were replaced by ???.

Then, after reading the documentation a bit, I tried to
(setq ps−multibyte−buffer ’non−latin−printer)

but now the Japanese characters are totally mojibaked:
// $*$_$/$8$NFbMF0lMw

so I tried 'bfd-fonts and I got a weird message about having no font for
ascii, and with 'bfd-fonts-except-latin, I'm back to ???.

I tried the same with an elisp file and the result was the same.

A minor issue is that the first line of the header for the ps file seems
truncated. Only the path and the date are printed.
