How can we set the Charset used when printing text files with CUPS ?
Hi,
I have a CUPS Server, configured properly to work with my printer. I would like to print text files encoded in different charsets (at least ISO-8859-1 and UTF-8). The CUPS FAQ says that CUPS accepts these encodings, however I don't know how to tell the texttops filter which one to use. For me, it always uses ISO-8859-1. The ideal would be for me that clients can specify their encoding when printing. I do not want to set it system-wide. Any idea ? Thank you

LANG=en_US.iso885915 whatever_command LANG=en_US.utf8 whatever_command etc. or whatever char set you want, even ones other than the various en_US ones, eh?
