i cant confirm that my lp and lpr dont print arabic because i dont have
type1 fonts... and if i cant confirm that they dont print arabic, i wont
attempt to fix it... i.e "dont fix it if it aint broken", and the issue will
hang around and wont get resolved....


so, in conclusion to all the CUPS posts, someone who knows linux "Well"
needs to confirm that lp and lpr dont print arabic...
i am a newbie, i.e "7omar linux" so i cant do that :)

ak.
