When a PDF document contains Umlauts in the print job name, printing via CUPS fails with an error message in /var/log/cups/error_log:

Create-Job client-error-attributes-or-values-not-supported: Bad job-name value: "job-name": Bad name value "Allgemeine Geschäftsbedingungen für den elektronischen Geschäftsverkehr" - bad UTF-8 sequence (RFC 2911 section 4.1.2).
[Client 18] Returning IPP client-error-attributes-or-values-not-supported for Create-Job (ipp://localhost:631/printers/kopierer) from localhost

The problem seems to be that the Umlauts in there are not UTF-8 encoded.
Since I have no control over the job name (filename is e.g. x.pdf)

Printing the same document via e.g. evince succeeds:
[Job 51] job-name="51 - Allgemeine Geschäftsbedingungen für den elektronischen Geschäftsverkehr"

Here the Umlauts seem to be properly UTF-8 encoded.
