[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#822571: Cannot print on CUPS printers with umlauts in name

[Mario Lipinski]

Package: samba

Dear Samba maintainers,

I am experiencing problems while printing to printers with umlauts in 
name. It seems like samba cannot communicate with CUPS properly about 
printer names with umlauts.

I tested with Samba 2:4.4.0+dfsg-1 sources from experimental backported 
for Jessie, but I also observed the problems with 2:4.2.10+dfsg-0+deb8u2.

 From the logs:

Apr 25 14:41:47 iserv smbd[13162]: Unable to get jobs for 
ipp://localhost/printers/Täääst - client-error-not-found
Apr 25 14:41:56 iserv smbd_audit: Unable to print file to Täst - 
client-error-not-found
Apr 25 14:42:03 iserv smbd_audit: Unable to print file to Täääst - 
client-error-not-found
Apr 25 14:42:06 iserv smbd[13162]: Unable to get jobs for 
ipp://localhost/printers/Täst - client-error-not-found
Apr 25 14:42:26 iserv smbd[13162]: Unable to get jobs for 
ipp://localhost/printers/Täääst - client-error-not-found
Apr 25 14:42:36 iserv smbd[13162]: Unable to get jobs for 
ipp://localhost/printers/Täst - client-error-not-found

May Samba should URI encode printernames in the CUPS request (from 
packet dump):

         printer-uri: ipp://localhost/printers/T\303\244st
             Tag: URI
             Name length: 11
             Name: printer-uri
             Value length: 30
             Value: ipp://localhost/printers/T\303\244st
