Hi

If the file is correct the printer is wrong.

Exactly what model is it


Printing extended characters often results in the wrong characters coming out .
Ex
An e with an grave accent may print as
an uppercase O with a acute accent.

This can be caused by a mismatch in the character set.

HP Laser printers have multiple "typefaces" available. The printer,just like the OS takes Roman8 by default.

You can change this with the lp command.

lp -d -ocs0N

The -ocs0n option tells the LJ to use another character set.
0N
represents ISO 8859-1.

Use your printer manual to
help you print out the available typefaces.
