You are joking, right? You have a buffer which contain one character only. Suppose it is 'a'. Please explain how you can print this buffer if all you know about the printer is that it accessible through the named pipe "/pipe/printer-input". Now repeat this assuming that the only character in buffer is U+0292. Are you assuming that sending character "a" to the printer pipe will print "a" on paper? This age is long gone... I'm not even sure that typical printers-of-today can work with one-sided-connection at all... Hope this helps, Ilya
