Re: cant print japanese languages
the obvious answer is that the printer in question does not have the correct Japanese font installed. Do you know if that is the case? Is it possible for your users to print to a printer that you know has the Japanese font(s) installed?

John K.

Re: cant print japanese languages
well, I don't think that you need to assign points to anything whose effect is unknown, and I would not rate my former contribution to much more than 2 points!
However, it might be worth checking if the application can possibly download the font along with the print job while printing. Not that this would be a good solution, if you want to print a lot of Japanese as it will put more load on the network, but it could serve as an emergency measure.
I would rate this last piece of advice to app. 2 points, meaning that you can assign 0 to this and still get a 1 point advice from me!
regards,
John K.

Re: cant print japanese languages
The printers my users use are as follows:
HP laserjet 4050 series pcl5e
HP colorlaserjet 4550bcl5c
How can i check if the above printer support Japanese, Chinese and Korean language.
I saw in an article about a "special laserjet (4pj and colorlaser J)" does this support Chinese and Korean?
If I have a printer which support multi language,do we need to install
drivers to our machine to be able to print?
please help...
all replies appreciated... =)

Re: cant print japanese languages
people do not exactly run this thread down..
I do not know much about printing Japanese, but I did visit this link:
http://www.hp.com/sbso/product/printing/laserjetfonts/
and if you try the Laser Fonts FAQ under
"I need a Japanese..." it says, sorry...
As far as I understand this, you need a DIMM (Dual Inline Memory Module), a piece of hardware containing the fonts in question, but if no one else has any ideas I suggest you ask HP directly.

SolutionYou will require a pcl5.nloo or pcl4.nloo model script located under the /var/spool/lp/model
directory. You might want to verify if you have any of these scripts before proceed.
Assuming you able to see Japanese on your system the Japanese filesets should already been installed into your system.
To do printing in Japanese please do this:
- Assume that you create a JetAdmin printer queue called '5Si'.
You would then have a shell script called
/var/spool/lp/interface/5Si. The '5Si' model script sources
another shell script from the /var/spool/lp/interface/model.orig
directory with the name '5Si'.
-Copy the /var/spool/lp/model/PCL5.nloo file to the /var/spool/lp/interface/model.orig directory, and name it as you have named the printer in JetAdmin:
for example:
#cp /var/spool/lp/model/PCL5.nloo /var/spool/lp/interface/model.orig/5Si
- Assign the proper permissions:
#chmod 755 /var/spool/lp/interface/model.orig/5Si
- Assign the proper ownership:
# chown lp:bin /var/spool/lp/interface/model.orig/5Si
- Re-start JetAdmin after you copy PCL4.nloo or PCL5.nloo:
# /sbin/init.d/hpnpd stop
# /sbin/init.d/hpnpd start
Dont worry too much if you are not able to stop or start the hpnpd or if it say hpnpd not found etc.
- Now to test print here is the syntax:
# /usr/bin/lp -ojapanese -d
example in my case:
lp -ojapanese -d5Si /tmp/japanese_text
Note: If you can print Japanese on the operating system level, but not on the application level, most likely you need to re-check configuration at the application level.
Use the following steps to create a file on the operating system level to test print Japanese text:
1. Ensure that you have loaded the Japanese filesets from the Core Operating System.
2. export LANG=ja_JP.SJIS
3. man kks > /tmp/kks.man
4. lp -ojapanese -d5Si /tmp/kks.man
5. verify your print out :)
hope thats helps..
cheers..
