[STR New]

Using a Kyocera KM-2030 in PCL mode with a vendor supplied PPD with cups
1.2.2. Also occurs when using a Brother 5170DN.

When printing a webpage with a Unicode character in its title from Mozilla
Firefox, the character ends up in the PJL job title. Upon encountering
this character, the printer starts printing one line or so of the PJL
header before aborting.

(The actual unicode character in this case is 0x2014, an interpretation of
&mdash)
