What happens if you change the value of printer-name so that the printed text goes to a disk file? Can you then visit that file with "C-x RET c CODING RET C-x C-f", where CODING is the same encoding you used with lpr-buffer? If this experiment succeeds, then Emacs is doing what it's supposed to do, and the cause of your problem is in the printer setup: it might not support the character sets you are trying to use. Could you please describe in more detail what does ``accented characters were badly printed'' mean? How exactly are they printed? what do you see on paper? > I very much suspect that my problem with printing may be somehow related > with two other ones which I've encountered. Namely, > 1.

The problem with Dired should be solved by setting file-name-coding-system to latin-2 or cp1250. > Are you capable of working with cp1250 characters in your environment so > that you can judge the results? Yes, but I don't have a printer capable of printing those characters, so I cannot test lpr-buffer with cp1250.
