You may well be on to something there. Discussion on bugzilla of similar
problems to mine with printing non-latin characters seems to suggest that
the best solution is to use Xprint, the mozilla module that implements Xprt.
However I'm buggered if I can get it to work. Looks like Xprint isn't
compiled into Debian's mozilla (I raised a bug about this). Has anyone had
success in using Xprt? It's extremely badly documented.
