Along the way I've been working on the Japanese-capability of my home PC here. I've figured out ways to send/receive Japanese-encoded email, and I can even view Japanese text files. The nut I have not been able to crack, under any terms, is how to *print* Japanese to my non-Japanese printer. I have an HP Laserjet 5L, which I believe is a PCL printer, so I use apsfilter to talk to it. For all non-J sorts of things, this works fine. I can't figure out what combination of things has to happen to print Kanji to this printer. I've wandered aimlessly through the ports tree, even submitted a PR or two. But I can't print! Can anybody toss a suggestion my way? Thanks, Brian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
