PCL
HP PCL - UTF 8 Some post-2004 HP printers have UTF-8 PCL firmware support ( more ). The relevant PCL5 commands appear to be “␛&t1008P” (encoding method: UTF-8) and “␛(18N” (Unicode code page). Recent PCL printers from other manufacturers (e.g., Kyocera ) also advertise UTF-8 support (for SAP compatibility). as seen on http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/unicode.html
