When you print a document that contains extended characters, such as Greek symbols, to certain printers that do not support Unicode characters, the extended characters may be printed as square boxes. This tweak should resolve the problem on most printers.
Open your registry and find or create the key below.
Create a new String value, or modify the existing value, called "NoWideTextPrinting" and set it according to the value data below.
Exit your registry, you may need to restart or log out of Windows for the change to take effect.
Note: Due to the method required the printing quality may be lower than when using direct Unicode support.
