Hi,

short:

after the upgrade to cups 1.3.4 cups print this:
E [08/Nov/2007:22:17:28 +0100] Unsupported character set "iso-8859-15"!
E [08/Nov/2007:22:17:28 +0100] Unsupported character set "iso-8859-15"!
E [08/Nov/2007:22:17:29 +0100] Unsupported character set "iso-8859-15"!
in /var/log/cups/error_log
when accessing the printers via samba from a windows XP Client over network.


long:

I am new to this list. The gentoo-forum could not help me and a search
to the mailinglist-archive did not load to a solution for my problem.

My System is gentoo-linux 2007.0. I have a x86_64-Installation on my
Core 2 Duo Box with 8GB ram.

I use cups for accessing my old Laserjet 6P connected to the
parallel-port. I access this cups-printer from local on the linux-box
and via samba from my windows-clients in my network.

This worked like a charm for several years now.

Now for the first time an upgrade to the newest cups-version (marked
stable within portage (from gentoo)) leads to problems.

This is what I did:

I switched from cups-1.2.22 to cups-1.3.4
Now I do not see the cups-printer as a samba-share. But it is accesable
from local on my linux-box. So cups works. But not with samba.

Because it works with samba after a downgrade back to 1.2.22, I think it
is a matter of cups.

In the logfile /var/log/cups/error_log cups prints this message:

E [08/Nov/2007:22:17:28 +0100] Unsupported character set "iso-8859-15"!
E [08/Nov/2007:22:17:28 +0100] Unsupported character set "iso-8859-15"!
E [08/Nov/2007:22:17:29 +0100] Unsupported character set "iso-8859-15"!
