Keep in mind that FreeBSD has support for only koi8-r and cp866 console fonts which differ from cp856 used in Bulgaria (in DOS mode). (see http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/printing.html) In a second way you may use ghostscript and a2ps packages for making a printcap filter and print in 'graphics' printer mode. This way requires some PostScript knowledge in order to make a2ps print in cyrillic. -iani To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
