I assume the problem is to do with the fonts your
printer has, and the act of converting the ps to a pdf
adds the fonts necessary.

I reckon the best way to check what is responsible for poor
typsetting is to try running troff's output through proof(1).

It is not necessarly the nice-est looking rendering of your
document - due to a lack of antialiasing of fonts I suspect,
but if you zoom in the layout should accurately reflect what troff
thinks it has done.
