Bug Description

Binary package hint: cups

I've attached a postscript file so that you can see what I mean. It prints the same on the printer except that it leaves white-space instead of printing rectangles. Although it may appear a couple of fonts may be useful, they actually aren't because they too miss odd characters. I tried printing to a postscript file before installing the printer with exactly the same result.
Cheers, Mike

As the user tell that he obtained the broken result already when he printed into a PostScript file this is not a bug of the printing system. It is most probably in the supplied Chinese fonts. Moving to the Chinese font support meta package. Any Chinese expert please move it to the correct package.

Till, all the fonts are 100% okay in OpenOffice or other editor, it's just the printing that doesn't work.
