Dom, no, AW can't print non-latin1 symbols right now (but that's
our fault, not gnome-print's - we just ignore all chars with unicode value >
255 when printing using gnome-print).
As for printing colors - I think it depends on the gnome-print version used.
I have the one from ximian available on Dec 23 - and it seem not to support
foreground/background colors other than black and white. I hope Ximian
currently ships a version of gnome-print that supports background and
foreground colors fine.
"Print directly" seems to support everything.

Yes, it would be nice to fix that.. It annoys laptop users with small
screens very much.
