I want to print emails from within mutt but when the emails contain Japanese
text in UTF-8 encoding I get very bad results and wasted paper.

For printing Japanese text I use the command:

  cat JapaneseDoc.txt | paps | lpr

Here the paps converts the japanese text to postscript that lpr can correctly
send to the default printer.

The question is how to set this command in the print_command of mutt? It seems
this command does not support pipes.

Maybe you didn't code it correctly?

In mutt,

1. select a message that contains Japanese text

2. type:

:set print_command='paps | lpr'

3. hit 'p' for print

Message printed.

4. add the above to your ~/.muttrc
