[Gambas-user] How to print Greek

[Dimitris Anogiatis]

Vassili,
You might have to convert the Greek Unicode characters into ANSI or ASCII
(not sure how your printer works I haven't
used a parallel printer in a while) in order to see some Greek characters
printed out.

if you can verify that the printer is setup correctly and an ascii plain
text with Greek characters prints out fine from your linux box then
it should be just a matter of unicode to ASCII conversion

Hope this helps
Regards,
Dimitris
