Using the mp Utility

The mp utility supports all asian locales. As a printing filter, mp generates a pretitified version of contents in PostScript format. The Postscript output file contains glyph images from Solaris system-resident scalable or bitmap fonts, depending on each locale's system font configuration for mp. As a print filter mp(1), is enhanced in the Solaris 9 environment to print either ko file in ko locale or UTF-8 files in ko.UTF-8 locales.

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

system% mp filename | lp -d printer

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