I believe there is a dip switch to set the printer into eight bit
mode. Has this been set? I think you can also enable it with a
seven bit sequence.

I have tried about all switch combinations, as well as most G0,G1 character set escape sequences. I doesnt seem to make any difference (and I switched the printer off/on each time I changed the switch config). I havent changed the printer settings in Preferences hough but I seem to remember it's in 8 bit. I'll check that. Iv | |||||

The print driver is the problem. AmigaDOS maps the foreign language
characters to special values. The print driver should then map them
back to the correct values for the printer. The LA50 driver
( that I wrote ) doesn't do the right thing. I will look into how
hard this is to fix.
