SYMPTOM(s):

OUTPUT TO PRINTER does not print French characters.

Using DISPLAY and PUT UNFORMATTED statements.

SESSION:CPPRINT is ISO8859-1.

Files with French characters print fine via MS Word, Notepad and Wordpad.

Session command line is similar to:
"D:\Program Files\PROGRESS\bin\prowin32.exe" -p someapplication.p -Wa -wpp

CAUSE:

Using the -Wa -wpp causes Progress to bypass the Windows printer device drivers needed to produce the French characters.

FIX:

Do not use the Windows Passthrough Printing (-Wa -wpp) parameters in the session startup command line.
