I have confgured this printer in AIX 6.1 by the following steps ...

  1. Smitty
  2. Print Spooling
  3. AIX Print Spooling
  4. Add a Print Queue

I Selected from the box this kind
hpJetDirect Network Printer (HP JetDirect)

then

Hewlett-Packard

then

Other (Select this if your printer type is not listed above)

then

generic Generic Printer

then

[FONT=r_ansi][SIZE=2]2 Do NOT make this system a BOOTP/TFTP server

[FONT=r_ansi][SIZE=2]Names of NEW print queues to add
ASCII [printer]

Printer connection characteristics

OK

This is the kind of the printer

# PRINT QUEUE PRINTER DESCRIPTION

Printer hp@Printer generic (ASCII)

It's printing fain but in Arabic it's giving some garbage fonts .

Is there solution for this issue ?

2

is there any feedback about this ?!

It would help to know the make and model of the printer.
Can you trap the output to the printer and save it in a file.
The most likely causes:
The printer default font is arabic
The printer driver adds an escape sequence that loads the arabic font in the printer.
The printer driver converts the text input file to a pixel mapped file.
The printer buffer/memory is defective.

Can you please explain more in this regard!?

5

Try re-creating the printer as "PCL" not "ASCII".

6

But it's printing Arabic fain in 5.2 with ASCII ?! What�s the difference in 6.1

7

isn't there any documentation that came with the printer ? drivers etcc ?

No � I don�t think that related to the printer itself, I think there is something need to be installed in AIX like the languages � I�m not sure
Can anyone advise us in this !!!
