CHARSET attribute of print files miscommunicated

Mon Dec 18 11:29:14 PST 2006

Hello all,
On my network I have different versions of CUPS servers.
One is ver 1.2.7 on FedoraCore 6 the others 1.1.22 on RedHat 4.
They are set with Browsing ON.
The users on the RedHat 4 boxes print to the printers on the FC6 box through the localhost (eg. lp -d <Remote Printer> <file> ...).
(using the browsing capabilities of CUPS)
When sending a Hebrew plain-text file this way the charset attribute is correctly interpreted on the originating host, but somehow miscommunicated to the destination host.
In the following logs you'll notice
        D [18/Dec/2006:19:59:21 +0200] StartJob: envp[3]="CHARSET=iso-8859-8"
on the originating host, and
        D [18/Dec/2006:20:43:02 +0200] [Job 63] envp[16]="CHARSET=us-ascii"
on the destination host.

If I submit the jobs on the RedHat 4 boxes with:
    lp -h <Dest Host> -d <Printer> <file> ...
it works just fine.

Could this be fixed?

Thanks,
Opher Shachar.
