Dear team,
We are trying to print Arabic text to one of the dot matrix printers that s=
upports Arabic from Solaris 10.
We have configured Generic ESC/P Dot Matrix Printer as printer model and fo=
omatic(S): Foomatic/epson as print driver in the printer configuration in S=
olaris.
When we print, English then it prints fine but when we print Arabic it prin=
ts junk. On investigation found out that a2ps can be called with -encoding =
and we don't find iso6(ISO-8859-6) as one of the supported encoding format.
I searched in the internet but could not get more info on this. Can you ple=
ase guide us on how to go about this.
Regards,
Senthil.
