Hello Holger,

UTF-8 and US-ASCII are the only supported charsets since CUPS 1.3.3.
There's some info about this in the Upstream bug:
http://www.cups.org/str.php?L2537

Comment #17 of the Samba bug you posted seems to mention it'll get
fixed over there for Samba 3.2.0/3.2.1:
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5080#c17

I'd consider this rather a Samba problem since it probably won't get
fixed or worked around on the CUPS side. But out of interest, any
reason to not convert all your files with convmv to UTF-8 and set in
smb.conf for example:

[global]
dos charset = 850
unix charset = UTF-8

which should get rid of this issue as well (according to the Samba bug
comments) and displays the files correctly for Microsoft Windows
clients, too.
