--- Comment #4 from Karl Eichwalder 2007-11-16 03:42:53 MST ---
Here is my proposal:
<sect3 id="cups-utf8" status="2007-11-16">
<title>Printing Legacy Encoded Text Files</title>
<para>The printing system based on CUPS 1.3.x (Common UNIX Printing System)
no longer converts legacy encoded text files such as ISO-8859-1, windows-1252,
and Asian encodings on its own. Only UTF-8 and thus ASCII is supported.</para>
<para>
As a work-around to print legacy encoded text files, convert
before sending them to the CUPS server. To print an ISO-8859-1 text
file, use:</para>
<screen>iconv -f iso-8859-1 -t utf-8 filename.txt | lp -d printer
</screen>
<para>Note, printing of PDF or PS or such binary files (JPEG, PNG, etc.)
works as before.</para>
</sect3>
