[STR Unresolved]

This isn't something we can fix in CUPS - the filename on the command-line
is converted to UTF-8 (from the locale-specified charset) in order to
provide the correct encoding for the print job title, but there is no way
for us to know the proper encoding for filenames.

(this problem has existed long before CUPS...)

One method of dealing with this is to redirect stdin, e.g.:

    lp -d printer <filename-with-special-chars
