The clients are sending requests saying that all of the job ticket information (title/job-name, page-label, etc.) are encoded using iso-8859-1, which we do not support. The file type doesn't matter since the document character set encoding is handled by the filters/printer and not cupsd.

So, when you print from the command-line on the server, the "lp" or "lpr" command is sending a Print-Job request to the local cupsd with "utf-8" as the job ticket/request encoding. Your remote clients are using iso-8859-1. The same file printed from those clients will fail because we cannot understand the print request itself...
