Comment 1 Glen Foster 2001-02-07 00:08:47 UTC
This defect is considered MUST-FIX for Florence Release-Candidate #1

Comment 2 Nakai 2001-02-07 00:17:15 UTC
This problem is because the printconf can't set an appropriate
printer driver (or possibly Japanese available printer is needed)

Help from somebody in Tokyo Office will be needed.

In seawolf Japanese mode,lpr can't print Japanese text file properly.

Comment 5 Akira TAGOH 2001-04-25 09:18:16 UTC
the problem which can't print the text plain file is caused by DEFAULTfilter in
/var/spool/lpd/*/mf.cfg.
you should NOT set 'cat/text' in DEFAULTfilter because the generally printer
can't handle the 8bit character.

As TEXTfilter, you should rewrite a mf.cfg as the conversion, or you will need
to check magicfilter why can't recognize the text plain (I mean why the text
file isn't through a TEXTfilter).


Comment 6 Akira TAGOH 2001-06-19 12:17:03 UTC
This bug isn't fixed yet. It seems magicfilter doesn't support the multibyte
character. so that the text which includes the multibyte character take for
binary file.
