>Subject: Printing Chinese in OS X - AppleWorks 6

------------------


Everyone,

I have been trying to get a new OS X machine to print Chinese documents to 
an HP LaserJet 5M printer. I've tried connecting to the printer in various 
ways (IP, Appletalk, etc.), installing the OS X driver, changing the fonts, 
etc. and it always looks right on the screen but prints in jibberish.

I found on the HP website the following discouraging words:

"NOTE: At this time, only certain languages are supported when using Mac OS 
X. The default language of English will be installed if a language is not 
supported. Some languages not currently supported are:

Chi_simp, Chi-trad, etc."

I'm not sure if this means it can't print in Chinese, or it can't have 
Chinese in the printer's dialog boxes, or what.

Has anyone encountered and/or resolved this problem? I have temporarily 
connected a DeskJet 940C to the machine, which is able to print fine. Is 
this going to have to be the permanent solution?

Any input will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
