Laser Printer Support

To print Traditional Chinese characters using a PostScript-based printer, a Traditional Chinese Solaris software application must have the Traditional Chinese Solaris xetops utility to print EUC or Big5 files or xutops.

Using the xetops Utility

The xetops utility produces a bitmapped graphics printed image.

The Traditional Chinese Solaris operating environment includes the xetops utility so any system can print Traditional Chinese on a PostScript printer.

Using xetops is described in Traditional Chinese Solaris User's Guide, in the chapter "Traditional Chinese Printing Facilities," and in the xetops(1) man page.

A typical command line for printing a file named filename containing Traditional Chinese characters with or without ASCII/English characters, would be as follows:

system%  pr filename | xetops | lp 

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