Problems Printing the Euro Symbol 2006-02-09 - By Tom Sightler
Back
We currently have a central CUPS print server running on RHEL3 which
hosts about 225 printers, mostly HP LaserJet printers. Recently, a new
requirement has been the ability to print text files that contain the
Euro symbol. I didn't think this would be a problem since the systems
run the standard UTF-8 (See http://UTF-8.ora-code.com) setup, but as it turns out there appears to be
some issues here.
Basically, we have a simple, UTF-8 (See http://UTF-8.ora-code.com) encoded text file that contains the
Euro symbol (???). We can view the file in vi or pretty much any other
way, but when we try to print it using either the lp or lpr command we
get a garbage character instead of the symbol.
If we transfer the file to a RHEL4 box, or a Fedora Core 4 system, and
print it through the very same print server, it comes out fine.
Has anyone else seen this behavior? What are we missing?
Thanks,
Tom
