You will have to debug this yourself. One thing I'd do is print to a file (use ps-print-buffer with a numeric argument, and it will prompt for a file name), then look at that file to see what stands for the accented characters there. > I checked with simply printing the buffer - without postscripting - > which works fine including all the Umlauts. That's not a good test: `print-buffer' uses an entirely different way of printing, and also doesn't switch the printer into the Postscript mode. > Also a2ps works fine printing Umlauts. So you could redirect a2ps's output to a file and compare what it produces for Latin-9 characters with what ps-print-buffer produces for the same characters. > > > no Umlauts with PS Print Buffer (B+W). > > > > What do you see in print instead of Umlauts? > > fine lined carrets Sorry, I don't understand this.

If you print out the entire Palatino font in your printer, does it include accented Latin-9 characters? > my .emacs holds the following settings: > > '(current-language-environment "Latin-9") > '(default-input-method "latin-9-prefix") So you are using Latin-9. I wonder if using Latin-1 instead will help resolve your problem.
