Windows 10: Generic / Text only Driver

I have a virtual printer on Raspberry which is configured as raw. On windows it is defined as a Generic / Text only printer. If I have a simple txt file consisting of umlauts ä, ü, ö and when sending to a virtual printer, the data comes in corrupted , , .

When saving the data to a file rather than sending it to the printer, the data in the file is correct. When sending data from linux, everything is fine. I tried to use different Code pages on the printer setup page with no success. When intercepting data through fiddler, it showed that the data was already corrupted in the request. Using another protocol like samba didn't change anything.

Maybe someone has thoughts on what can be done to fix the encoding?

Generic / Text only Driver

Hi Dave,

Thanks for your response. I have an Epson LQ-2090II printer and driver connected on my machine.

However, the software i am printing from requires the generic / text only driver.

When i install and try to use the Generic / Text only driver i am unable to print.

FYI, I printed fine before upgrading to windows 10
