6. Font and Printer Enhancements
Internationalized PostScript Printing Support: psfontpf
A new PostScript printer filter that supports the printing of international characters in text files and
web pages has been added.
The new psfontpf printer filter enables the printing of non-English international characters in text
files and web pages displayed by Mozilla/Firefox in printers that support the PostScript level 2 or
level 3 printing language. The printers do not need to have local language fonts pre-installed, as
the font files in the HP-UX system will be used, if necessary. The psmsgen command is a
configuration tool for managing printer model scripts that use the psfontpf printer filter.
For more information on the new PostScript printing capability, refer to the psfontpf (1M) and
psmsgen (1M) manual pages.
Asian Printing Enhancements
Asian lp model files and filters have been enhanced to support important Asian national standards
and ISO 10646.
The Asian lp model files (PCL5.asian for HP LasetJet printers and ESCP for ESC/P dot impact
printers) can now print the characters defined in the latest national standards (including JIS X
0213:2004, KS X 1001:2002, GB18030-2000, Big5-2003, CNS11643-2004, and HKSCS-
2004), as well as ISO10646, by using Asian TrueType and bitmap fonts on HP-UX. The LIPS4
Japanese lp model file can now print the characters defined in JIS X 0213:2004 and ISO10646.
The PCL5.asian model supports the OfficeJet 7210 printer with pcl3 option.
ESCP allows use of 94 user-defined characters per line, instead of per one job.
PCL5.asian, ESCP, and LIPS4 models allow use of TrueType fonts for user-defined characters with
umap option.
The network printer setup tool setnetlp has been enhanced.
