https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=340963#c2 --- Comment #2 from Klaus Singvogel 2007-11-13 10:54:11 MST --- According the cups mailing list this affects user API also: <cite> Several CUPS API functions now no longer give responses in the user's own locale encoding but in UTF-8. In other words, rejecting requests in other encodings is *not* sufficient to protect unwary client applications from this change. To give one particular example, cupsGetJobs2() may now return a job-name attribute encoded in UTF-8 whereas previously it would have been in the 'native' encoding. This will cause a client application running in a non-UTF-8 encoding locale to display incorrect characters. </cite> -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=340963#c4 --- Comment #4 from Karl Eichwalder 2007-11-16 03:42:53 MST --- Here is my proposal: <sect3 id="cups-utf8" status="2007-11-16"> <title>Printing Legacy Encoded Text Files</title> <para>The printing system based on CUPS 1.3.x (Common UNIX Printing System) no longer converts legacy encoded text files such as ISO-8859-1, windows-1252, and Asian encodings on its own. Only UTF-8 and thus ASCII is supported.</para> <para> As a work-around to print legacy encoded text files, convert before sending them to the CUPS server. To print an ISO-8859-1 text file, use:</para> <screen>iconv -f iso-8859-1 -t utf-8 filename.txt | lp -d printer </screen> <para>Note, printing of PDF or PS or such binary files (JPEG, PNG, etc.) works as before.</para> </sect3> -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
