Hi,
I am using cups 1.1.23 with the alternate pstops filter. There seems to
be a bug, when printing webpages with Mozilla that contain brackets in
the document title. The page I printed contained brackets in the
document title. Mozillas postscript code is
http://www.uni-koblenz.de/~litauer/bracket1.ps. You can print this (raw)
code on every postscript printer. If I print to a (cups) postscript
printer, printing fails with a postscript error, because the /job-name
variable contains an unescaped opening bracket. The resulting document
is http://www.uni-koblenz.de/~litauer/bracket2.ps
The problematic section:
/CUPS_ENV_OPT
<< % Environment variables and command line options
/CHARSET (iso-8859-1)
/CONTENT_TYPE (application/postscript)
/DEVICE_URI (file:/var/tmp/test.out)
/LANG (en)
/PRINTER (test)
/SOFTWARE (CUPS/1.1)
/USER (root)
/CURRENT_DATE (Wednesday, 24. May 2006 13:28)
/NOWDATE (2006-05-24 144)
/NOWTIME (13:28:55)
/clientname (termserv)
/smbpages (11)
/job-originating-user-name (litauer)
/job-name (eBay: DENON AVC A11XV HIGH-END VERSTÄRKER 20 Mon.Garantie
