(9874) Character Set Printing to HP LaserJet 1300?

[User]

I'm trying to print to a HP LaserJet 1300 N using a printqueue. The testfile contains the german special characters "dv|_" and the are printed as some funny special characters

any ideas?

thanks

Please contact the support, as details of the special characters and the character set(s) involved will be of interest. The OpenVMS Wizard does not immediately recognize this error nor this configuration, but it would appear that the OpenVMS host and/or the printer does not support the particular character set(s) in use. Obviously.

DCPS (DECprint Services) is the usual path to LaserJet printers.

For additional IP-related printing details, please see topic (1020).
