Unable to print Swedish Character using DocFlavor

Question

Hi All,
i am trying to print Swedish character using DocFlavor, but its not getting printed.
My printer only supports below Flavors.
Win32 Printer : V2PRINTER supports :
image/gif; class="[B"
image/gif; class="java.io.InputStream"
image/gif; class="java.net.URL"
image/jpeg; class="[B"
image/jpeg; class="java.io.InputStream"
image/jpeg; class="java.net.URL"
image/png; class="[B"
image/png; class="java.io.InputStream"
image/png; class="java.net.URL"
application/x-java-jvm-local-objectref; class="java.awt.print.Pageable"
application/x-java-jvm-local-objectref; class="java.awt.print.Printable"
application/octet-stream; class="[B"
application/octet-stream; class="java.net.URL"
application/octet-stream; class="java.io.InputStream"
I have tried different encoding format available  like UTF-8, ASCII but i am getting exception Invalid Flavor.
PFB code snippet.
package test;
import java.awt.print.PrinterJob;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import javax.print.Doc;
import javax.print.DocFlavor;
import javax.print.DocPrintJob;
import javax.print.PrintException;
import javax.print.PrintService;
import javax.print.SimpleDoc;
import javax.print.attribute.HashPrintRequestAttributeSet;
import javax.print.attribute.PrintRequestAttributeSet;
public class TestPrinter {
      * @param args
     public static void main(String[] args)
          String receiptName = "D:\\Receipt.txt";
          // retrieve all the printers
          PrintService[] printers = PrinterJob.lookupPrintServices();
          // print service declaration
          PrintService printer = null;
          for (int i = 0; i < printers.length; i++)
               System.out.println(printers.getName());
               if (printers[i].getName().equalsIgnoreCase("Ricoh Aficio MP 2550B PCL"))
                    printer = printers[i];
                    System.out.println("Printer Found :" + printers[i].getName());
          FileInputStream psStream = null;
          try
               psStream = new FileInputStream(receiptName);
          catch (FileNotFoundException e1)
               // TODO Auto-generated catch block
               e1.printStackTrace();
// DocFlavor psInFormat = DocFlavor.BYTE_ARRAY.GIF;
DocFlavor psInFormat = null;
// psInFormat = new DocFlavor("text/plain; charset=utf-8", "java.io.InputStream");
psInFormat = new DocFlavor("text/plain; charset=us-ascii", "java.io.InputStream");
Doc myDoc = new SimpleDoc(psStream, psInFormat, null);
PrintRequestAttributeSet aset = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
          try
               DocPrintJob job = printer.createPrintJob();
               job.print(myDoc, aset);
               psStream.close();
          catch (PrintException pe)
               System.out.println(pe.getMessage());
          catch (Exception e)
               System.out.println(e.getMessage());
Please let me know what wrong i am doing here.

Hello,
Please try to reinstall the SAPGUI again...bcoz LOCL initialize the SAPLPD in local printing and SAP sends data to SAPLPD to print it.. so you can try this option also..i am not sure it will help....but u can try..
