printing arabic text

[Naveen Dogra]

I want to print Arabic report directly from
unix using lp command.
I am generating a both lp and hp .lis file using brio sqr
The server is 5470 andf os is hp11i and
printer is hp laserjet2200dn.
When I print the report Arabic characters
get converted to some junk value.
What software do I need to successfully do
that.

Hi,

I share the same sentiment with, only that the OS I am using is Win2K.

There is nothing in HP-UX that can translate the codes that appear on your graphics display into a matching font. The LJ 2200 has a number of built-in fonts but I don't believe that there is an Arabic font. This will require some research into programs that have Arabic fonts that work with HP LaserJet printers and will also link up with the codes in your report. You can use xwd to copy an Xwindow screen and then convert the bitmap image to a PCL picture, but this would be tedious for multiple pages.
