I am pretty sure we explained that in the thread. Basically, start
CUPS, go to http://127.0.01:631/ in a web browser, click on printers,
then configure printer. If you are using a Postscript driver, one of
the options will be render to PS level 2. Check the archives again. If
you still have problems figuring out how to do this, let me know.

Also, did you ever tell us what distro you are using?

I do not remember the exact setting. Did you ask Google?

Looks like the proper value for print.postscript.nativefont.jp should
be "euc-jp".
