My first guess would be that printing from the "compose" window somehow
selects different fonts.
1. Does anything change when you go to the menu item "Tools/Options...",
select the "Fonts" section, select "cyrillic" in "fonts for" and define
some reasonable default fonts there ?
2. What kind of messsages are that ? HTML or plain text emails ?
3. Are you using "fixed width" fonts for messages or variable-width
fonts (see "Tools/Options...", section "Display") ?
4. Do you have any newsgroup message where the problem occurs with ? If
"yes" please post the messageid here that we can test the issue on my
side...

I suggest to file a bug at http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ (and post the
bugid here for reference)  ...
... second guess: It may be another incarnation of the "justified font
removes spaces when printing" bug in Mozilla's layout engine
(http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=182217 is one of them) ...
