If I simply do

# lpr CUPS-UTF-8.txt

I end up with an exact replica of the data within that file -- noise.


If I open CUPS-UTF-8.txt in gedit and print via lpr it works great.

I guess it's been a while since I've played with anything in UTF-8 and  
completely forgot how UTF-8 really looks when you aren't using  
Unicode-aware applications.
