[STR New] Trying to use UTF-8 "box drawing" characters in python redirected to lpr Ex: ┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┳━━━━━━━━━┳━━━━━━━━━━━┓ ┃ Denomination ┃ Qty ┃ Amount ┃ ┣━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┻━━━━━━━━━┻━━━━━━━━━━━┫ ┃ Hundreds 0 $0.00 ┃ ┃ Fifties 0 $0.00 ┃ ┃ Twenties 0 $0.00 ┃ ┃ Tens 0 $0.00 ┃ ┃ Fives 0 $0.00 ┃ ┃ Twos 0 $0.00 ┃ ┃ Singles 0 $0.00 ┃ ┃ Half Dollars 0 $0.00 ┃ ┃ Quarters 0 $0.00 ┃ ┃ Dimes 0 $0.00 ┃ ┃ Nickels 0 $0.00 ┃ ┃ Pennies 0 $0.00 ┃ ┣━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┫ ┃ Total Cash: $0.00 ┃ ┃ Less Bank: $0.00 ┃ ┃ ──────── ┃ ┃ Ending Balance: $0.00 ┃ ┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛ ex: lp utf_file.txt The box characters display correctly on my terminal but don't appear when printed. this is whether lp is called directly from my program or when a text file contains characters like these: "┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛" python command to draw it is: print u'\u2517'+u'\u2501' * 38 + u'\u251B'+"\n" Normal ascii characters do appear. Printer is an HP Photosmart 5510 Wireless using HP-setup via jetdirect port. Cups is installed locally on the PC. Printer is not attached to the PC and has no USB support. I understand that CUPs supports UTF-8 by default. This may well not even be a bug within cups itself. It could even be the printer or my setup. Any advice would be appreciated, but I understand I'm probably the only fool who wants to draw unicode boxes to a line printer. Thank you for your time.
