A few months ago, I looked into Mojikyo fonts in Windows TTF format, which were encoded in shift-jis, if I remember well.It seems that the problem would not in the printer driver but in PostScript Names of Mojikyo font family.Do you mean, using the Windows version as Unicode fonts, for Unicode aware applications in OS 9 and OS X?
cf. <http://macptex.appi.keio.ac.jp/~uchiyama/macptex.html>
Have you tried Windows version of the font?
But the fact is that with my OS 7.6.1 machine, with the printer driver for Microline 600PS II, I can print Mojikyo font characters without problem, but when I try with Apple LaserWriter driver, the same thing happens ("Cannot print because of a PostScript error"...). The situation is exactly the same with my current setting -- except that I don't have the driver for Microline 600PS II for OS 9 (or OS X).In Font Settings segment of LaserWriter 8 Print dialog box, there are several options. "Always download needed fonts" may help you? What happens if you try "Save as PDF" from, for example, TextEdit?
Perhaps the problem is a little different in the page of which you gave the url, because it is question of the compatibility of Mojikyo fonts with TeX...Mojikyo fonts are mentioned several times in that page. Please see what is written under the subtitle "Classic". In my understanding, any postscript pinter should work fine with Apple/Adobe LaserWriter driver provided with a valid ppd file. Without the vernder's driver, special features of the printer like recto/verso printing would not be available though. Presumably some work arounds for non-standard fonts would have been implemented into Oki driver. But I'm not sure at all, of course.
"The 'post' table contains information needed to use a TrueType font on a PostScript printer..."By the way, what is the "PostScript name" of TrueType fonts...??

You can loot at it by dumping a font with Apple's old DumperFuser or ftxdumperfuser included in OS X font tools:
<http://developer.apple.com/fonts/OSXTools.html>
I just tried
% ftxdumperfuser -t post -A d Osaka.dfont
which generated a very long and insipid lines like...
<PostScriptName glyphRefID="0" NameString="post4_0019" />
<PostScriptName glyphRefID="1" NameString="post4_0000" />
<PostScriptName glyphRefID="2" NameString="post4_FFFF" />
<PostScriptName glyphRefID="3" NameString="post4_0001" />
<PostScriptName glyphRefID="4" NameString="post4_0002" />
whereas anything like them were produced by
% ftxdumperfuser -t post -A d Mojikyo\ M101
nor by
% ftxdumperfuser -t post -A d Mojikm01.TTF
So something would be wrong with the both versions. But I don't know well. In my understanding, Postscript names are generated automatically by a font editor. So I have not taken care of them until today...
