Laser Printer Support

To print Korean characters using a PostScript-based printer, a Korean Solaris software application must have the Korean Solaris xetops utility to print EUC files or xutops to print files in the ko.UTF-8 locale.

Using xetops and xutops Utilities

The xetops and xutops utilities produce bitmapped graphics as printed images. Korean Solaris software includes the xetops and xutops utilities so any system can print Korean text on a PostScript printer.

• xetops handles files in the ko locale

• xutops handles files in the ko.UTF-8 locale

Using xetops and xutops is described in Korean Solaris User's Guide, in the chapter "Korean Printing Facilities," and in the xetops(1) and xutops(1) man pages.

A typical command line for printing a file named filename containing Korean characters with xetops, would be as follows:

system% pr filename | xetops | lp 

The syntax for xutops is similar:

system% pr filename | xutops | lp 

Make filename the name of the file to print. This file can contain ASCII/English characters as well as Korean.
