Is there a solution to printing unicode characters from gvim?

(Using a Linux setup and Vim 8.0.)
Per this Stackoverflow:4586628 Q/A, How do you pipe a vim buffer through lpr?, I have this entry in my ~/.vimrc:
nmap PpP :%w !lpr -o lpi=8 -o cpi=14<CR><CR>
that replaces my old entry,
nmap PpP :ha<CR>
(:ha = :hardcopy).
Using :ha, Neovim was not printing Greek letters, ... even though my (Arch Linux) locale was
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
...
and I have this line, near the top of my ~/.vimrc,
scriptencoding utf-8
[Printing is system-dependent, not vim-dependent.]
I added the lpi (lines-per-inch) and cpi (characters-per-inch) to jiggle my font size to that similar to as what I was getting with the :ha command (I measured/counted with an actual ruler), and run it as a PpP command/shortcut, added to my ~/.vimrc, whenever I want to print the current buffer.
Send the buffer to the browser by converting to HTML, then print from there:
:TOhtml | w | !open -a Safari %
For example I have this in vim:
If I type
:ha
I get this:
But when I send it to the browser I get this (with color scheme!):
I have this in my .vimrc, which deletes the new html buffer and stored file:
nnoremap <F2> <ESC> :TOhtml <bar> w <bar> !open -a Safari % <CR> <bar> ZQ <CR> <bar> execute '!rm %:p.html' <CR>
