OK.

Let's check whether your firefox/Mozilla prints with fontembedding
or not (Both is possible, depending on the settings in
firefox/Mozilla).

Print to a file instead of directly to the printer and then run
Ghostscript on that file:

     gs mozilla.ps

You will see messages about fonts which are loaded on standard
output. Do you see any messages about missing fonts?
If Mozilla prints without font embedding, it writes a request
for the standard Japanese font name "Ryumin-Light" into the
Postscript output because this font is available in most
Japanese PostScript printers and also supported by Ghostscript
with the ghostscript-cjk extras. I.e., if you Mozilla prints
without fontembedding, you should see a message about loading
Ryumin-Light in the standard output of Ghostscript.

On the other hand, if you Mozilla prints with font embedding, you will
not see Ghostscript loading Ryumin-Light because the fonts are already
contained in the Postscript document.

You should then see which fonts were embedded by grepping in the
Postscript file, for example:

mike@kibou:~$ grep %%BeginResource mozilla.ps
%%BeginResource: CMap IPAPGothic.Regular.0.0_cmap
%%BeginResource: CIDFont IPAPGothic.Regular.0.0
mike@kibou:~$
