bidi text printing ( was: Re: dev help...)

anyway, for every file CUPS starts a chain of filters that ends with the
Printer driver, redirecting each filter's stdout to the next one's stdin...

example: if your printing a text file, this is what i think happens
the filter chain looks like this:
txttops >> pstops >> pstohp
something similar happens, im not sure exactly what...

anyway, the problem (if there is one) would be in the 'txttops'
filter, that converts text files to .ps documents and prints it on
stdout so pstohp can receive it on stdin and send it to some backchain
driver or whatever...

so, either .ps files are not shaped correctly by 'txttops' or it needs
some configuration that im not aware of... im a linux newbie remember..!


uniprint - produce postscript output from unicode text for printing


uniprint comes with yudit (unicode text editor).

I haven't tried this but one may attempt to configure a CUPS filter with uniprint and see what happens.
