[ILUG] Printing Pound Signs

[ILUG] Printing Pound Signs

Hi,
I have Red Hat 5.2 running on my laptop, connecting over the network to a HP 
Laserjet 5/JetDirect card.
When i open a terminal window inside X-Windows and print a text file 
containing £ signs it comes out with "u"s.
i used the command
>lp -Plp0 test.txt

If i open the same text file within Netscape and print it to the printer it 
works fine, the netscape print option is also lp -Plp0

The /etc/printcap is the following
lp0:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp0:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:\

:rm=10.1.1.20:\
:rp=hplaserjet:\

How do i print £ symbols within a terminal window ?

Regards Aidan
