To specify printing in either of the ISO-885915 or UTF-8 locales, use the lp option

-ocs9N (or -oscs9N) to select the correct character set as the primary (or secondary)

character set.

For example:

lp -d<printer_name> -ocs9N -o<other_options ><print_filename>

For ISO-88591 locales, no codeset (-cs) option is required.
