Bug Description
I am running Dapper with:
cupsys 1.2.0-0ubuntu5
firefox 1.5.dfsg+
mozilla-firefox 1.5.dfsg+
If you choose to print to a cups IPP printer from firefox, and the page you are printing has a ® HTML entity in the page TITLE, it uses that page title as the name of the job. This causes the job to crash the IPP backend.
One might argue that this is cupsys's fault for not handling the trademark symbol gracefully. I am therefore filing this as a bug against the cupsys package as well.
