The French Canadian code page is 37 (or 1140, if you need the euro).  Unix 
systems operate in code page 819 (ISO 8859-1).  For example:
   LPR fn ft fm (ASYNC TRANSLATE 00370819 HOST myprinter.cgi.com PRINTER 
lpt1

If you were sending the file to a Windows (code page 1250) system, then 
you would use 00371250.

Look in Chapter 30 (or so), "Using Translation Tables" in the TCP/IP 
Planning book.  The ASYNC option sends it through RSCS.
