Bugs should be reported at:

     http://www.cups.org/str.php

Please include the specific version of Solaris you are using and any
other OS's you have tested this on in your bug report.  Thanks!

That said, there are unfortunately a number of operating systems that
use UTF8 (no dash) and other variations instead of UTF-8 for the
codeset value.
