I have system-config-printer-0.6.116.5-1 version installed on my RHEL system(which is customized o.s.)

Now when I configure and select a driver zh_CN for chinese .
when I presss save and then exit I got the following error message

Please suggest me what to do

May be better use 'cups' for the setup.
'system-config-printer' seems unable to handle it.

Just click this link :
http://localhost:631/
to get the "Common UNIX Printing System .. "
And next click 'Add Printer'

If you want further help, please tell which printer,
you are trying to set up. All details, please.

I m using LaserJet printer.

My observion is when my system local setting is

LC_ALL=zh_CN.eucCN (chinse setting)

at that time above error occurs

when My system setting is

LC_ALL=POSIX it will not give any error.

But I want to set LC_ALL=zh_CN.eucCN and take a print of chinese char file

but it will give garbled chinese char. I mean chinse character is not printed properly.

Amit

Which 'localisation' is used ? UTF8 or non UTF8 ?
May be the printer is confused by some contradicting
localisation settings.

Which LaserJet ? Brand_________type__________

( like HP LaserJet 1100 )

Which Redhat EL ? Redhat EL________

EL 4 ? EL 5 ?

Some printers use Ghostscript, and thus requires
ghostscript fonts installed. What have you got ?

Those are the only hints, I can think of today.
