You can find the character set code here for most languages http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_page
Try 437. It's the standard character set. By default SambaPOS uses 857 which is the Turkish set.
Thank you for answer, but changing to 437 didn't help me...
found this page, but 65001 also doesn't work

Print a test page on your printer. That should print current printer configuration. Check which character set printer is set to. Update Character Set setting to the same value with printers.
Generally test page prints by holding feed button while switching printer on. If it does not work contact seller for help.
Hello,
I have a simmilar problem.
I want to print Bulgarian (Cyrillic) characters, but when I try it only prints out ???? instead of Bulgarian letters. I tried changing the character set. to Bulgarian - 866. By holding the feed button Iswitched the printer from Chinese to ASCII mode, but still it doesn't print out Cyrillic symbnols, but some strange letters.
I don't think the problem is with the printer because when I print cyrillic characters from notepad it appears perfectly normal.
My printer is NT-58H - http://www.zjiang.com/product_show.asp?id=601
This are the settings of my ticket printer in Samba.
