My new printer stopped working under the other day. Re-adding it resulted in a general error message.

Finally found the solution:

In the printer's "location" field, I had specified "Mein Büro" ("My office" in German). And Cups does not like umlauts in that field. 😶

After removing the "ü", the printer worked.

Maybe this information will be helpful to someone, at some point. 🙂

Das Umlaute-Problem sollte man immer auf dem Schirm haben. Bin geläutert seit dem Bug bei der LUKS-Verschlüsselung von Silverblue; im Installer mit auf deutsch eingestellter Tastatur eingerichtet, keine Chance beim Neustart, weil im Gegensatz zu Fedora Workstation die englischsprachige Eingabe fest aktiviert war und sich nicht ändern ließ. 😭 Workaround unpraktisch, mittlerweile aber gefixt. Verwende in Passwort-Phrasen seither trotzdem nur noch ue etc. 😂

Clearly there is still work to do.

CUPS ist ja "Common Unix Printing System". Damit ist das Problem hier, dass die Amerikaner den Deutschen beim Betriebssystem-erstellen zuvor gekommen sind. Sonst hätte es Ünix geheissen und dann hätten wir auch CÜPS und es wäre von Anfang an auch an UTF-8 für Description und Location gedacht worden.

Beim drucken von Textdateien wurde übrigens schon viele Jahre UTF-8 unterstützt.

Und wenn der Bug dann gefixed ist, dann kannst du natürlich auch "Scheiße" in das "Description"-Feld schreiben, aber dann solttest Du wirklich darüber nachdenken, ob Du dir besser einen anderen Drucker (z. B. mit weniger Cartridge-DRM) anschaffen solltest ...

Herzog von Deutschland,

that is a bug. Especially these comment fields, description and location, should accept UTF-8 text, as many people want to fill them in their language, even worse for those who speak Greek, Hindi, ... (In German one can still work around with "Mein Buero", but this also only if one gets a clear error message so that one knows that the problem is the non-ASCII character in this field).

So please report a bug on
https://github.com/OpenPrinting/cups/issues/

Ein herzliches Dankeschön für diese Information. Sie kann tatsächlich mal nützlich sein.

Magst du diesen Bug auch an Cups melden? Sonst erfahren die Entwickler nie davon und wir werden für immer diesen Workaround brauchen.
