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.

Thanks again,

Well, I have /private/etc/cups/mime.convs
but in the /usr/libexec/cups/filter only:

cgpdftopdf             nstexttopdf            pstoraster
cgpdftops              pdftopm                rastertodymo
cgpdftoraster          pictwpstops            rastertoepson
commandtocanon         pstoappleps            rastertogimpprint.5.0
commandtoepson         pstocupsraster         rastertogutenprint.5.1
gziptoany              pstopdffilter          rastertohp
hpgltops               pstops                 rastertolabel
nsimagetopdf           pstopxl                rastertotiff

and as far as I see no texttops and locate texttops is also negative?

In mime.convs:

application/x-cshell    application/postscript  33      texttops
application/x-csource   application/postscript  33      texttops
application/x-perl      application/postscript  33      texttops
application/x-shell     application/postscript  33      texttops
text/plain              application/postscript  33      texttops
text/html               application/postscript  33      texttops

so texttops is referred to but maybe non-existant.

Where can I find that filter?
