Public bug reported:
I am running Dapper with:
cupsys 1.2.0-0ubuntu5
firefox 1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.4-0ubuntu6
mozilla-firefox 1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.4-0ubuntu6
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.
** Affects: firefox (Ubuntu)
