Cannot get the printer to print in Chinese.

[btcomm1]

I was able to install Chinese language support for windows and internet explorer. However when you try to print it, it will not print. Do you have to install something for the printer to get the printer to print in Chinese? Is it possible to get it to work?

look in print preview to see what it'll look like. if possible try to export page into Word or whatever else and print from there.

So if you copy Chinese from internet explorer and paste it into word that would work?

What printer make and model?

I think it's an hp printer as far as the exact model I don't know, does it depend on what printer I'm using or is it a windows setting? Or is it possible that some printers do not work like that?

You have to install a Chinese font that the printer understands.

try printing to a file (Microsoft Office Document Image Writer) and then print the resulting mdi file (assuming it was able to copy the characters correctly). All else fails, screen shot and use paint to edit it.

What are you using to print chinese? Is it Internet explorer? Or a word file. I had to setup printing support for someone at work last week and i just went to the microsoft office website and downloaded simplified chinese fonts.

After i downloaded that word was able to read the files correctly as well as print them out properly.
You will need office for this to work. I believe that site uses office validation
