[...] THE PROBLEM is that when I try to print the Vietnamese stuff, I get a page with some anglo characters here and there, and a whole lot of blank rectangles where most Vietnamese characters should be. [...] My question is: have you encountered this problem with Vietnamese web pages such as the ones under http://www.thanhnien.com.vn, and if so, how did you lick it?
Last time I encountered this kind of problem, I was testing a Mandrake distribution aiming to make a good vietnamese desktop installation. At this time (a few years ago), I found that it was Mozilla that was generating some kind of badly internationalized Postscript, missing Unicode definition for all vietnamese caracters. At this time I did the trick using cups mime.types and mime.conv to call a script correcting the Postscript output before printing it. Know I'm betting if it was the right way to do it... But anyway, I don't use Mandrake anymore. I now use Debian and it has a better integration for using fonts for display as well for printing.
For your specific point I would try two things. First, install the Microsoft TrueType Core Fonts (Debian package is called msttcorefonts. They are not totaly free in the Debian ou GNU spirit, but still free for personnal use and very usefull for vietnamese support. Second, try to install/use the xprint Xwindow extension. I didn't investigate far on this, but I can remember it helps applications to print as nice as they display.
