Initial report by Klaus Ethgen <Klaus at Ethgen.de> (cups-client 1.4.6) said
that
He can't print a file that have umlauts in the name.

Cups's lp answers:
Fehler ? kein Zugriff auf ?XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXrüXXXXXX.pdf? ? Datei oder
Verzeichnis nicht gefunden

When He unsets all locale settings the file is printable.

I think that this happens cause of a wrong assuming that all is UTF-8.
But the locale de_DE implies ISO-8859-1 if no other charset is mention.

On my system I have no UTF-8. Not in filesystem and not in locale
settings.

However, that is only a assuming, I am not sure if that is really the
problem.


My test of reproduction:

I can reproduce this bug with (cups-client 1.7.5):

$LANG=de_DE
$printf toto > bpbpü.txt
$lp bpbpü.txt
lp: Error - unable to access "bpbpü.txt" - Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht
gefunden

$LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
$lp tbpbpü.txt
request id is DCP8110DN-22 (1 file(s))
$lpq
DCP8110DN is ready and printing
Rank    Owner   Job     File(s)                         Total Size
active  lkppo   22      tbpbpü.txt                     1024 bytes

$LANG=de_DE
$lpq
DCP8110DN is ready and printing
Rank    Owner   Job     File(s)                         Total Size
active  lkppo   22      tbpbp�.txt                     1024 bytes


With the de_DE locale is not possible to print files containing umlauts and
output of lpq is corrupt. I have also reached the same result with local
fr_FR
and accent character such as "é".
