931.0. "printing Chinese chars.?" by CSC32::L_SERKMAN () Tue Apr 08 1997 21:44

    Hello,
    
    	I have a customer running V3.2 of Unix.  Does she have any options,
    other than going to V4.0b, if she wants to print chinese characters?

	Linda, Digital UNIX V3.2 only has limited support for Chinese character printing. You need to install the Chinese portion of the Worldwide Language kit in order to have Chinese character printing capability. See i18n_printing(5) for more information. Basically, we support Chinese printing for the following three PostScript printers: DEClaser 1152 DEClaser 5100 LPS 17 But you probably cannot buy them as they are no longer supported. The situation is the same for V4.0*. We are now developing a better printing solution for Asian languages. However, this new solution will not be ready until the next major release of the Digital UNIX operating system which will be released next year. For the time being, you may have to look for some third-party solution. -Longman UBPG/I18N group [Posted by WWW Notes gateway]

Linda,

Digital UNIX V3.2 only has limited support for Chinese character
printing. You need to install the Chinese portion of the Worldwide
Language kit in order to have Chinese character printing capability.
See i18n_printing(5) for more information. Basically, we support
Chinese printing for the following three PostScript printers:

        DEClaser 1152
        DEClaser 5100
        LPS 17
 
But you probably cannot buy them as they are no longer supported.  The
situation is the same for V4.0*. We are now developing a better
printing solution for Asian languages. However, this new solution will
not be ready until the next major release of the Digital UNIX operating
system which will be released next year. For the time being, you may have
