New Latin and South American Locales [11i v2]

Chapter 3

Printer Support

The following printer model files have been enhanced to support these locales:

• PCL4

• PCL5

• colorlaserjet

• deskjet1200C

• deskjet1600CM

• hp33447a

• hp5000c30

• hp5000f100

• hpC1208a

• laserjet

• laserjet4

• laserjet4Si

• laserjet4v

• laserjet5Si

• laserjetIIISi

• paintjetXL300

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

NOTE It is expected that the printer supports ISO-885915 (Latin 9) fonts to allow for printing codeset

specific characters, such as the Euro.

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

Impact to the Customer

Base offering (installed on all systems): Approximately 136 MB additional disk space is required. No

additional memory requirements are needed when running in any of these locales.

Compatibility

There are no compatibility issues involved with the addition of this feature.

Performance

There is no impact to performance.

Machines Affected or No Longer Supported
