Thanks Eli,

I have changed the variable ps-mule-font-info-database-default to

,----
| ((latin-iso8859-15              ; new entry
|  (normal nil nil iso-latin-9))  ; new entry
|  (latin-iso8859-1
|  (normal nil nil iso-latin-1)))

The German umlauts now print very fine, except the Euro sign. The Euro
sign still prints on paper as circle with edges (¤). In emacs
displaying of the Euro sign is fine. If anybody knows how to change
that I would appreciate it.
