This should be ok. I have my user_pref set in 
~/.mozilla/XXX/#@#/prefs.js

If the ps file it printed has these lines:
/Unicode2NativeDictzh-CN 0 dict def
/zh-CN_ls {
  /NativeFont /BousungEG-Light-GB-EUC-H def
  /UCS2Font /Courier def
  /Unicode2NativeDict Unicode2NativeDictzh-CN def
  /unicodeshow1 { real_unicodeshow } bind def
  /unicodeshow2 { real_unicodeshow_native } bind def
} bind def

Then the file should be ok. It means the above font will be used
for printing zh_CN text. If this is the case, you have to make 
sure your gs indeed print Chinese with truetype font ok.

If you don't have the lines, then mozilla did not read your 
preference setting for postscript generation.
