           Summary: CUPS Printer-Names are UTF-8, but we handle them as ANSI
           Product: Wine
           Version: CVS
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-gdi-(printing)
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: wine.dev at web.de


The Printer-Names, that wine receives from CUPS during LoadSystemPrinters()
are encoded as UTF-8, but we call AddPrinterA with this Names.

We need to covert the CUPS-Names with MultiByteToWideChar(CP_UTF8, ...)
and use AddPrinterW on the result, but that is not possible yet,
since wine uses always the same code to print a document
to a Printer from CUPS and to a Printer from "/etc/printcap":
WideCharToMultiByte(CP_ACP, ...) with "lpr"


This will be fixed, when the Local Printmonitor (in localspl.dll)
is able to send the data of the document to the correct (unix)-backend.
