Hello All, During the last weekend I've installed FreeBSD 7.0R, the system and compiled all the 'ports' I need, i.e. as well cups-base-1.3.6_1 Common UNIX Printing System cups-pdf-2.4.6 A virtual printer for CUPS to produce PDF files cups-pstoraster-8.15.4_1 Postscript interpreter for CUPS printing to non-PS printers cups-samba-6.0 The Common UNIX Printing System: MS Windows client drivers samba-3.0.28,1 A free SMB and CIFS client and server for UNIX samba-libsmbclient-3.0.28 Shared libs from the samba package I'm using Samba only to have access from a Windows XP in a virtual machine (Qemu) on my laptop to the files in FreeBSD world and for printing from XP to the CUPS in FreeBSD world. Worked all fine before in FreeBSD 6.2R, but not in 7.0R. It says in /var/log/cups/error_log: E [22/Mar/2008:10:12:40 +0100] Unsupported character set "iso-8859-1"! I've digged into this and could make it work again by launching Samba in an UTF8 environment, for example with: # LANG=en_US.UTF-8 /usr/local/etc/rc.d/samba start (or setting LANG=en_US.UTF-8 in the start script). Any comments on this?
