Bug#818469: Printing from some HTML files fails in pdftops conversion with python UTF8 error
I'm also affected by this bug. Using hplip-3.16.8+repack0-2
I'm trying to print a html page from Google Chrome with an o-umlaut in
the title.
I get the following in /var/log/cups/error_log:
D [09/Sep/2016:10:14:45 +0200] [Job 312] Traceback (most recent call last):

If I remove the o-umlaut in the title t page prints without problems.
The workaround mentioned in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/1498366 solves this for me.
