The first step is to separate the printer from the BASIC (part of a general strategy to divide the problem into smaller pieces). So change your code below to output to a text file. Then look at it to see if you're getting into it what you think should be there. A hex editor is good for this.
Then try sending that file directly to the printer, not using UniVerse. Then focus on where the problem seems to be. Of course if the only test printer is half a world away, that can be tough. We have considerable experience in working with international characters in a variety of environments. Our Print Wizard product can read and translate PCL-5 code, including emulating some of HP's Chinese cartridges. However, I don't recognize either the symbol set (18N) or the typeface (17006). What company supplied the DIMM? Is there documentation online for it? What kind of printer? Another solution may be to use Print Wizard and standard Chinese Windows fonts. We can help with that. Contact me off-list if you'd like.
