Hi everybody.

I'm having a problem in my Samba+CUPS configuration.
I thinks it's a problem that affects only people speaking italian and 
other latin languages, but maybe someone has already had a similar 
problem and can help me...

I have some users that have in their name special characters, i.e.
accents, quite common and used in italian language...

For example, with a user called pinco.pallinĂ² in my Win2008 AD, the 
situation is:

- Samba (Winbind) bind it correctly:

# wbinfo -u | grep pinco
pinco.pallinĂ²

- But if try to print something, cups tell me (in error_log)
E [01/Mar/2013:08:52:08 +0100] [Job 1660] Unknown user pinco.pallin__
E [01/Mar/2013:08:52:08 +0100] [Job 1660] Unknown user pinco.pallin__

Why??

I put DefaultLanguage it and DefaultCharset UTF-8 in
/etc/cups/cupsd.conf, but things don't change...

If I issue the "locale" command, I get:
LANG=it_IT.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

So locales seems to be correctly configured..

Where could the problem be??
Any help is approciated,

Thanks,
Nick
