and then submits it to the printer queue.
Characters can be printed in the standard font or in bold.
The following codesets are supported on OpenVMS systems:

ISO8859-8 ISO Latin-8
ISO8859-9 ISO Latin-9
SDECKANJI Super DEC Kanji for Japanese
TACTIS TIS-620 for Thai
All of these codesets are supported by WWPPS, but fonts can be
associated with only one language at a time for each codeset.
WWPPS also supports Unicode character conversion for all of
these codesets except Thai. A Unicode character is converted to
a character in one of these codesets; then the font supporting
that codeset is used for the character in the PostScript file.
If a character cannot be converted, it is printed as a space.
Format:
PRINT/QUEUE=queue-name [/qualifiers] file-spec
The /QUEUE qualifier is required on all PRINT commands to specify
the name of the queue to which the text file specified by file-spec
should be sent.
Example:
WWPPS> PRINT/QUEUE=PRT_QUEUE/LOCALE=EN_US_ISO8859-1 REPORT.TXT
This command submits file REPORT.TXT to the PRT_QUEUE printer
queue to be printed in American English.
