[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#471228: Cannot print any more: Print-Job client-error-bad-request: Unsupported character set "iso-8859-15"!

[Christian Hammers]

Package: cupsys
Version: 1.3.6-1
Severity: important

This bug seems to have occured in former versions, roo. At least I read
#451105 which is already archived and could therefore not be reopened.

The desktop from which I try to print from is using Debian etch with
CUPS 1.2.7-4etch2 and locales de_DE at euro ISO-8859-15. The server is using 
Debian sid with the same locales.
On the client side there is no cupsd but only:
	# cat /etc/cups/client.conf 
	ServerName app109.intern

	# cat /etc/cups/lpoptions 
	Default epson

I tried to print an US-ASCII text file using a2ps. The generated postscript
file itself includes "/ISO-8859-1Encoding" if that matters.
