Printing in National language problems!

Hello, List!

We've got some problem. We need to print PDF-reports in russian language. We've got two PCL printers: HP2100 (in its BIOS are russian fonts) and HP1100 (in its BIOS aren't russian fonts). We have'nt any problem with HP2100. We've got all problem with printers same as HP1100. If we open pdf-report in Acrobat Reader and then print from Acrobat - no problem. But if we run report on Enterprise server (Windows NT) or LOCAL imediately to printer then russian symbols are wrong - printer has'nt russian fonts.
First way for resolve that problem. We download program from HP that loads russian fonts into HP1100, but fonts have got code 03R (russian font) and OneWorld prints in encoding Cyrillic 8859/5 ISO (font charset 10N). OneWorlds prints pdf-reports wrong. How can we change OneWorld Charset?
Second way for resolve that problem. We add parameter in jde.in: in [UBE] section : On client (Windows 2000 prof and NT Server) that works, but on Enterprise (Windows NT Server) don't works.
Can anybody help us?

Anton,

We had similar problems in Japan. The only way we were able to get the
process to work was to require that printers that were going to print
Japanese had to be purchased in Japan.

We do our development in the US, so we even went so far as to require the
Japanese to send us a printer they purchased there. We were using HP
4050N's, We could get the Japan purchased printers to work but never got
the US purchased printers to work.

I will be interested in following this thread.

Anton,
the user that does the printing on the ES is the same account that starts
the JDE services, possibly the System Account.
See if this account has the correct international settings.
Thanks, Gerd

Unfortunately, the only way to print to a PCL printer in russian from OneWorld's PCL print filters is to have printer fonts (ROM or Soft) that use symbol set 10N.

I imagine one of JDE's output partners (Create!Print, FormScape, Optio, some others) may be able to help you, but that would cost more.

Not the same issue - JDE doesn';t even support PCL for doublebyte languages like Japanese. And since Xe, which is using Adobe's libraries for PDF to PostScript, Japanese output works to most PostScript printers even if you don't have Japanese fonts installed on the printer.

Yes, of course! Postscript printers haven't theese problems. PostScript printers prints correct russian symbols even that printers haven't builtin russian fonts. Problem appears only with PCL printer that hasn't builtin russian font.
