Package: cups-client
Version: 1.4.6-4
Severity: normal

I saw this bug for long time now. When I print a file that have german
umlauts in the file name, cups tell me:
lp: Fehler ? kein Zugriff auf ?XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXrüXXXXXX.pdf? ? Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden

When I unset 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.
