typesize: 8pt is fine. 6pt is fine. 5.5 is the lowest size when reversed (offset printing) so that aint the cause unless the printer is old or crap.
Truetype fonts don't have PostScript bits. that's the point of TT files and is similar to the new Opentype format as there's only one file. the font could be buggered (corrupt) which could cause the problem. try printing some text from some other app.
If all the text is in Photoshop then flatten the image and 'save as' a tif. Print the tif and if the problem is still occuring then it's a printer / printer software problem (either reinstall or check the prefs) Tifs don't use font files as obviously there are no text elements just one flat pancake.
make sure it's 300 d(ots) p(er) i(nch) not 300 dots per centremetre - too low.
lastly it could simply be that the colour the text is overlayed on the background colour/img is confusing the printer and unfortunately you may need to deal with it or outsource a better proof.
