[STR New]

I refer to the java libraries in the CUPS source package, especially
<CUPS-Package>/scripting/java/src/com/easyws/cups/Cups.java.
The packages are using 'ISO-8859-1' to make requests to a CUPS server.

--- example ---
a = new IPPAttribute( IPPDefs.TAG_OPERATION, IPPDefs.TAG_CHARSET,
                             "attributes-charset" );
a.addString( "", "iso-8859-1" );
---/example ---

Any request to a CUPS server fails with the message 'unsupported character
set "iso-8859-1"'.

As I have discovered, the cupsd only supports 'UTF-8'. The java sources
should be fixed to 'UTF-8' to work correctly.
