Hi Geoff, there are different kinds of cyrillic (Russian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian etc.). Russian IBM codepage used to be PC-866. Your laser printer will possibly have internal fonts. Check for PC-866 or Windows CP-1251 (=ISO-8859-5) I could provide you downloadable fonts Times and Helevetica for HP Laserjet 4 or 5 that you send to the printer only once and that can be switched on by an escape code sequence that means in the same way as an internal font is selected. Your mime.cfg contains a line: file/printprn.dgi |[100]type _4prt.txt>PRN You need to modify it a bit (everything on one line) file/printprn.dgi |@copy /b printer.ini PRN>nul\n type _4prt.txt>PRN The file printer.ini must contain the escape sequence that selects the appropriate Russian font. If the internal or downloaded font supports a different charset you will have to insert some translation program as a filter into the mime.cfg line, eg.: file/printprn.dgi |@copy /b printer.ini PRN>nul\n @transl.exe _4prt.txt >PRN Regards Christof Lange ________________________________________________________________ Ceskobratrska cirkev evangelicka - Betlemska kaple na Zizkove Prokopova 4/216, 130 00 Praha 3, Czech Republic Tel.
