What happens if you change the value of printer-name so that the printed
text goes to a disk file? Can you then visit that file with "C-x RET c
CODING RET C-x C-f", where CODING is the same encoding you used with
lpr-buffer?
If this experiment succeeds, then Emacs is doing what it's supposed to
do, and the cause of your problem is in the printer setup: it might not
support the character sets you are trying to use.
Could you please describe in more detail what does ``accented characters
were badly printed'' mean? How exactly are they printed? what do you see
on paper?

No, I think these problems are different ones. The problem with Dired
should be solved by setting file-name-coding-system to latin-2 or cp1250.

Yes, but I don't have a printer capable of printing those characters, so
I cannot test lpr-buffer with cp1250.
