You didn't specify the printer(s) in question. AFAICT, the document name
goes into the job-name attribute, and I found recently that the Xerox DocuSP
implementation of IPP (which has been done nearly completely in java)
exhibits just this bug (see note below).

This bug is known to the vendor for a long time already, but a fix
is not probable.

You probably should file a STR for this issue.

Note: In the case I mentioned, the printer claims to support
iso8859-n (n >= 1) and utf-8 besides of plain ascii, but whatever
character set is specified in the IPP request, the software hangs
if the job name contains any byte > 127.
