Thank you - very odd; when I searched the CUPS forums for "iso-8859-1" before I posted my question (and again now, being very careful), the results didn't include messages of the thread from which comes the message you mention above. (Also, I see recent messages in this forum with just "Sun" .. "Sat" as the date - 01/04 (American style) is "Fri" as I write.) There isn't a message timed at 12:57 - I suppose you to mean your message of 03:57.

I've not seen this problem before, though I've been using CUPS 1.3.* on a print server for a while. I wonder why I've not seen it before? I'm too tired to think usefully about this matter now, but will continue tomorrow.

Many thanks,
