Re: problem printing european character
I assume the language settings are correct and you are using 8 bit character sets.
A lot of the special characters are only printable correctly if 8 bit charactersets in use. we use currently iso_885915 in the different languages. example de_de.iso885915
and special characters are printed correctly.
As we have two systems running in france li'm sure that printing of the characters you want to print is possible and does work with the approbiate language settings. printer get postscript files delivered but it works as well with PCL
Maybe that will help

SolutionI've seen casually this message bacause I use VMS not Unix but problem is same.
Usually we use ISO-LATIN1 to align codeset; so I program VT terminal with ISO-LATIN1 on 2.nd page (code from 128 to 225) and I send to printer selection of ISO-LATIN1 (this sequence is printer dependant).
You could choice other codeset too, but ISO-LATIN1 (known as 8859-1) have all uppercase and lower case with various accent plus some scandinavian symbol.

Re: problem printing european character
Be aware that it not only depends on the character set you are using on the server, but also what you are using on the printer.
There must be a match. Check the default character set you use on the printer.
It will also depend on whether you are printing from within an application on the server, or directly from the OS.
I normally do not allow conversion to take place in the spoolsystem/printdriver (unless no other option), but rather try to handle it in the program/application.

if you need esc seq to programming VT and printer post printer protocol: I can give you the programming sequence to set ISO-LATIN1.
