[cups.bugs] [LOW] STR #1355: printers setup with name >=12 should emit samba-compatibility warning

[Hin-Tak Leung]

[STR New]

Some SMB clients cannot cope with printer shares over 
12-characters long (an 8.3 relic). When cups is used together 
with Samba (quite popular usage), one can naively sets up 
over-long printer names which are not useable in that context, 
e.g. "colour-printers" for a color printer pool. The cups
printer set up wizard should emit a warning when such an attempt 
is made, and the relevant admin documentation updated.
It is one of the most frequently reported non-bug's in Samba, 
but cups admins sometimes don't read Samba docs when setting 
up printers.
