From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.4) Gecko/20050318 Red Hat/1.4.4-1.3.5 Description of problem: Enscript cannot print UTF-8 (or any other unicode encoding) files. This also applies to previous versions of RHEL, as well as the current beta of RHEL 4 update 1. Seeing as UTF-8 is the default encoding in RHEL 3 and 4, that should probably get fixed. This is actually kind of a regression against RHEL 2.1, since that didn't have UTF-8 as the default, and hence you could print files made in the normal way back then, and now you can't. /August. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): enscript-1.6.1-28.3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open "vi" 2. Make a text file, containing a non-7-bit-ascii character of your choice. (My example: [Hmm, cannot enter it here, or I get an 5XX internal error from bugzilla...] anyway, an "a" with a ring above it) 3. enscript <file> Actual Results: A sheet of paper (if you had printing set up right) containing something like (for the a-with-ring example above) <A with a tilde above it>\203<A with a circumflexover it><yen sign>. Expected Results: A sheet of paper with a proper (albeit non-7-bit) character on it. Additional info:

I think it should work to print the text file using 'lpr', thought. But yes, enscript ought to support UTF-8. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 81828 ***
