[STR Closed w/o Resolution]

First, CUPS assumes that you are printing using the current locale's
character set. If your locale and file don't use the same character set,
you need to convert the plain text file to PostScript (or PDF) prior to
printing to ensure that it is printed properly.

Second, if you are printing to a remote printer, there is a known bug (STR
#2167) which prevents the character set from being passed to the print
server. That bug will not be fixed in 1.2.x, and may not be fixed in 1.3,
either...
