Printing a textfile (like the attached one) gives gibberish, the non-ASCII caracters are interpreted as 2 weird characters each.

How reproducible:
Each time you try to print an non-ASCII text...

Steps to Reproduce:

2.
3.
  
Actual results:
Gibberish in testfile.ps

Expected results:
A reasonable representation of the original text
