I am not a Windows guru, but as far as I know Windows (Polish version) uses two different codepages: cp1250 for windows apps (TrueType fonts use this cp) and cp 852 for DOS (text mode) apps. Also printers (HP at least) use cp 852 as Polish codepage. Our AS/400 sends print jobs via LPR to HP printers using cp 852 (this is configured in our WSCSTOBJ). We can try converting 870 to 1250 in lp5250d - maybe some dll library responsible for printing will convert 1250 to 852 somwhere between lp5250d and the printer. If not, we will need 870 to 852 translation.
