Impression ASCII extended characters (Spanish)

When printing a document with spanish extended characters (a acute, e acute, etc...) the characters are not printed correctly.

In the emulation session these characters are seen well.

LOCALE variable = spanish_spain.8859

The printer is a Lexmark OPTRA S1650 configured with a lexmark print server and defined in the 'SCOADMIN PRINTER MANAGER' with a remote UNIX printer

SCO OpenServer 5.0.6

I've seen this post in other places around the net and it has gone without answer.

Probably has nothing to do with the OS and everything to do with the characters sent to the printer - in other words, a printer driver issue.

Thanks for the answer,
but as I can modify the driver of the printer?

Of course you can. See http://aplawrence.com/SCOFAQ/scotec7.html

That's assuming you are sending text. If your app is generating escape sequences intended to produce this effect, that's what needs fixing.

Of course you also need to know WHAT needs to be send to get what you want.

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
