Package: cups
Version: 1.1.23-10sarge1
I use Samba in combination with CUPS to print (using printing = cups in Samba). The problem is that when (Windows) clients spool job, they also send the name of job, which normally is the filename of the original document (printed from). In the job history page (http page), CUPS uses the longest jobname to decide where (on the right site) the buttons should be put. If there is one job with a very longname, these buttons are put in an invisible part of the page on the right, and one has to scroll to the right (over and over again) to press the buttons.
I don't know whether this is either a bug in CUPS or a bug in Samba, but my guess is that it should be fixed in CUPS because CUPS can decide when a jobname is too long and if so cut(truncate) it to a correct length. (of not please correct me).

Dear bug submitter,

This bug was reported against a very old version of cups (older than
in the current stable Debian version "Etch"). About a year ago,
Martin-Eric Racine asked for feedback whether the bug still applied to
the current Debian Etch version, but we did not get any feedback. In
order to not keep around old, hardware-specific, and inactive bugs
around forever, I close this bug now.

Please report back if you still experience the problem with the
current version in Etch; if you can test Lenny/unstable, that would be
highly appreciated, of course. I will reopen this bug then.

Thank you for your report!

Martin
