ipp backend fails when there is a URL printed from firefox with Trademark symbol

I can not reproduce this with my version of CUPS here (currently a self-compiled 1.3-r5706 from CUPS' Subversion repository). I'll test with a Dapper version later.

A few questions for clarification, and to try and help reproduce this:

 * with "&reg; HTML entity in the page TITLE" you mean the <title>...</title>
    tag in the HTML code?

 * with "page title as the name of the job" -- do you mean
    a) what's in the PostScript code as "%%Title:....", or
    b) what's in CUPS' error_log file on the "StartJob: argv = ...." line?

Thanks.

In the <title>...</title>

An example URL is:

  http://www.buttercupbakeshop.com/

An example URL is:
   http://www.kraftfoods.com/recipes/CakesPiesCheesecakes/CheesecakesBaked/PHILADELPHIAClassicCheesecake.html

Note on the second URL they have they have the Unicode character rather
than &reg; although the behavior seems to be the same.

> * with "page title as the name of the job" -- do you mean

What I actually meant was that when I type "lpq" on the system in question
when things get hung I get (for my first URL example):

notary is not ready
Rank Owner Job File(s) Total Size
1st bkuhn 15 Buttercup Bake Shop® 1966080 bytes

I am not sure how firefox is sending the job. I just chose Print from the
firefox menu and took its defaults to send to the configured CUPS printer
(called notary).

I don't think so. If I look at the Postscript file in
/var/spool/cups/d00015-001 in the example above, it starts with:

%!PS-Adobe-3.0
%%BoundingBox: 0 0 612 792

a 'cat -v c00015' gives:

(not sure of a better way to give you the output of that, as it is a
binary data structure, but you see that the Unicode trademark symbol is
there in the job name)

Yes, argv[3] seems to have the Unicode character in it. I restarted the
server with debug error log level, resubmitted the job and got:

D [...

I noticed the bug is marked "Needs Info". Is the info above enough for you to proceed?

I can't confirm this. Both pages print correctly, and lpq shows:

$ lpq
DeskJet-940C is ready and printing
Rank Owner Job File(s) Total Size
active ivoks 20 Buttercup Bake Shop� 1998848 bytes
1st ivoks 21 PHILADELPHIA� Classic Cheesecak 477184 bytes

Could you add your enviromental variables? LANG and LANGUAGE are important. Thank you.

It even works this way on a straight-up Dapper install for you? That is
odd.
