If the printer doesn't have native support of the character set, you're out of luck with this approach - you'll have to print to the printer using the Windows GDI to have it generate the characters graphically for you. The chinese character sets I've worked with are not ASCII, but are double-byte ANSI and UniCode and require external support with most printers that accept ASCII streams, which are basically single byte character set representations.
