1. Name your Puppy version.
2. Name your printer model.
3. Name the printer driver you have installed.
4. Name the program that you are printing from.
5. Post a sample document with diacritics for testing purposes. Add a fake .gz extension on the file name so you can post it here as an attachment.

No reply? I guess it wasn't that important.

Let's start:

1.Puppy 5.7.1
2.Brother DCP-T300
3.debbi-1.3pet / dcpt300cupswrapper-3.0.2-0.i386.deb / dcpt300lpr-3.0.2-0.i386.deb (from Brother support)
4.pdf
5.file.pdf - original file (it is in archive.tar.gz)
out.pdf - scan of printout pdf (it is in archive.tar.gz)

A very strange thing is: I print same file (file.pdf) for the second time and is very well. :( I can not explain why? Please, compare the two files in the arhive.tar.gz.

I try attach arhive.tar.gz, but unfortunately, it's not possible, why?

Is it because the file is too big? The forum has a limit.

I need to see your sample file.

The attachment can not be any larger than 256KB.
The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.
When I was a kid I wanted to be older.... This is not what I expected :shock:

I did a quick test with Slacko 5.6 and an HP laser printer. I used PeasyPDF as the printing app.

It printed correctly. The characters with diacritics were all there.

I then set up Precise 5.71 with a Brother MFC-J470. It also printed correctly.

I then printed it through Precise's own PDF app. That worked too.

Have you installed any different fonts or selected a different language? I wonder if that might be the problem.

Hy,

Also, now I print this pdf very well, but is very strange, and I can not explain why? , I use a bootable CD-close Puppy 5.7.1 with a stick for save sessions, without HDD. Maybe was a virus?!
