6 UTF-8 and US-ASCII are the only supported charsets since CUPS 1.3.3.
7 There's some info about this in the Upstream bug:

10 Comment #17 of the Samba bug you posted seems to mention it'll get
11 fixed over there for Samba 3.2.0/3.2.1:

18 I'd consider this rather a Samba problem since it probably won't get
19 fixed or worked around on the CUPS side. But out of interest, any
20 reason to not convert all your files with convmv to UTF-8 and set in
21 smb.conf for example:
22
23 [global]
24 dos charset = 850
25 unix charset = UTF-8
26
27 which should get rid of this issue as well (according to the Samba bug
28 comments) and displays the files correctly for Microsoft Windows
29 clients, too.
