From applications (emacs, textedit, neooffice, openoffice, etc) printing works OK both from the Mac and from a open SuSE 10.3 computer (even with swedish charcters 'åäö'). However, when I use lp or lpr from the 'terminal' or 'konsole' to print textfiles I get 'gibberish' for the sedish characters åäö. What shuld be tweaked and how? I'm using UTF-8.

Dear Michael,
Thank you for the suggestion but now i get: lpr: The format ”text/plain” isn't supported! (my translation from swedish). So lpr or lp wouldn't print at all.
